Donna, Your progress is such an inspiration. I am amazed at how quickly you dropped the weight. I can only wish. My surgery is in 2 days and I hope I find some of the success you have had. Please tell me your secret! I am drinking over 64 oz water a day, having three protein shakes and walking. Is there any other magic you can share? Congratulations on your success!!! Laura

Donna, your before/after pictures on the "gallery" was what caused me to look you up on the peers page, but your testimony has inspired me to write to you! Thank you for sharing so vividly about God's leading for you regarding this surgery. I am having Open RYN on Monday, January 6 and KNOW beyond any doubt that this is God's plan for me. He is my best friend and Savior. Thank you for sharing!

OH MY GOODNESS DONNA!!!! You had such amazing results, I thought it was a typo....over one hunderd pounds in a couple months is unbelievable!!! Was that because you had a distal? instead of Prox? If so I am gonna ask my surgeon for the same!!!! Best wishes for you!
