My brother had successful WLS late yesterday afternoon so he's on his way to a new life. 4 1/2 hour RNY surgery with a gallbladder removal for good measure. Just got off the phone with him and the nurse was ready to "yank the catheder." He's been walking throughout the night and although he is plenty doped up, he thanked all you guys for the support and great information which helped prepare him for his journey.

Thanks, fellas!

Wish him good luck on his journey! We will be looking for him to post when he feels better!
BTW every time I see your posts I get homesick for Arvada, I miss having mountains to play in.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for the thoughts for my brother. Arvada is "home sweet home" for me as well. Mountains are cool but you've got the ocean to play in, huh?

Great news- We are pulling for him. Hey Boner, you are now like the Mr. Miagi of WLS for him. You are the Master, and he is the student. Wax on--Wax off!!

He will do great.
