Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 93 pounds!!! Good luck!

I got home on Friday. I ran into a problem with one of my staple lines bleeding and I had to receive 2 units of blood. Thank the Lord, it healed on its own. . . I will update my profile at a later time with what all occurred. But, for now I am doing fine and healing well.

Donna had the surgery and everything was well until early Tuesday morning. She was moved to ICU for internal bleeding. So far she has received 2 units of blood. For my sister this surgery was unnecessary. She was overweight but had no health problems associated with it. She could have gone on a diet. If she couldn't stick to a diet plan, she isn't going to be able to stick to the one that goes with this procedure and that goes for anyone who has this procedure. Everyone who encouraged my sister to have this surgery give yourself a pat on the back. Hopefully she will be fine. But you all are at fault. She listen to all of you superficial people who could probably care less about her instead of her family, immediate and extended, who trully love and care about her. Roxanne Forrest, Donna's Sister

Hey Fellow Bama Girl. I am just so happy for you. If I can be a long distance angel, out here in Las Cruces, NM then I certainly volunteer for the job. You have become just so very special to me. I'll talk with you over the weekend. Picture Christ's arms spread wide open as when He was nailed to the cross. Know that God loves you just that much! He's got ya covered. Love and blessings, Elaine Whitman (I'm about to drop the last part of my name, just keeping my maiden name). I'm trying it on for size.
