Hi Derek, I just read your profile. I am sorry you had compications. I have Dr. Thayer too, my surgery date is January 6th. Of course reading your profile I am a little more nervous about going under the knife with him, but I am glad he found the leak quickly. I hope you are feeling better and better each day. I hope to see you on the losing side in less than 4 weeks. If you get a chance and are feeling up to it, please e-mail me privately and tell me more about your experience in the hospital and how you are doing now. God Bless, hope all is well. ~~~Aimee
