Laura, I pray that your recovery will be fast and beyond your hopes. I ask that God watch over you and bring your through safely to the other side. Walk, cough and breathe deep as you being your new life. God bless you.

I am wishing you a safe and complication-free surgery and a quick recovery. Congrats on this courageous beginning of your new life. I had my open RNY on Dec. 10, 2001 and am so glad I did. Its the best thing I could have done for myself.

Laura, congratulations on your upcoming surgery. May you be blessed with an easy surgery and a rapid, painless recovery. Remember to drink your water, take your vitamins, walk daily and most importantly, be kind to yourself along the way

Hi Laura, wow my surgery is the day after yours! Are you as anxious and excited as I am? Dr. Thirlby at Virginia Mason is my Dr. and I think we are having the same kind of surgery. I have read good things about your Dr. from others at this website. I'm in Federal Way, have you heard of any support groups in this area? You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, Dolores
