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!)… RNY 10/31/03 – down 87 pounds!!! Good luck!

Hi Jane: Welcome to the other side! Remember, to get plenty of exercise, eat your protein, drink lots of water, and keep a positive attitude.

***UPDATE on JANE MITCHELL*** I just got off the phone with Jane. She got out of the hospital today and is doing well. Not having much in the way of pain. She says she feels a little short of breath at times and I told her to keep up with using her incentive spirometer.

UPDATE ON JANE MITCHELL* I just got off the phone with Jane's husband and Dr. Aguirre. She is doing fairly well. Her husband said they are keeping her pain well controlled--she had chosen not to have the epidural so they are using shots, I think. He said that the only problem is she isn't able to get the balls up on the incentive spirometer. She is a smoker so she knew that that would be an issue with her. Other than that she is doing well.

Jane - you are so close I'll bet you can almost taste it now. One more day and you're on your way! I'm so excited for you. Hopefully we'll have a chance to at least say "hi" in passing!

May God Bless and keep you close at his side as you go through this journey. You must be very excited and nervous all at the same time. This will be the best thing you could ever do for yourself and your family. I know it was for me. Remember you will have ups and downs. You can always turn to your AMOS family for support. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Good luck and God Bless!!!
