Lisa Joy, and others having surgery on Tuesday...

Just keep an eye on the weather.  It sounds like it could get nasty Monday night through Tuesday morning.  I am looking at hotels near the hospital...because I WILL NOT take the chance of not getting there and missing my surgery...lol. 

Thanks for the heads up!  :O)    How far are you from the hospital?

I am about 45 minutes from Fairview University...without traffic.

Hi Naomi....I just want to wish you and Lisa Joy the best with your surgeries. I hope you both have speedy recoverys too. Hugs, connie d

Thanks Connie!

I second it....thanks!!  :O)

Naomi, The day is finally just around the corner. You must be thinking about it constantly? I know I was. . . AND with so much excitement and gratitude. We are so fortunate to live in a day in age where this sugery is possible and just as importanly, where we can zip online and get immediate information, understanding, support and "pats on the back!"

I recently read a post from another gal on a different board that said that "the latest research" (sorry, can't remember the source) indicates that those who are plugged into online support (or another support network) do better than those who do not. It makes sense and is kind of obvious, but it sure justifies for me the time I spend here. I decided to stay plugged in somewhere at least every-other day, for now. I KNOW it helps. I will be including you in ALL my thoughts and prayers for Lisa on Tuesday. . . You are the TWIN WLS sisters! I bet it will meaningful for the two of you to compare healing notes and many "WOW" moments which are certainly in store for you. Sleep well tonight and know you are surrounded with a circle of WLS sisters and bros. Cindy

Good Luck Naomi.   Prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery.
