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!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 88 pounds!!! Good luck!

Sally, A poem for you: On the road that I have taken, one day, walking, I awaken, amazed to see where I have come, where I'm going, where I'm from. This is not the path I thought. This is not the place I sought. This is not the dream I bought, just a fever of fate I've caught. I'll change highways in a while, at the crossroads, one more mile. My path is lit by my own fire. I'm going only where I desire. On the road that I have taken, one day walking I awaken. From The Book of Counted Sorrows by Dean R. Koontz Best wishes on your journey to your new life! Sincerely, Roxane

Sally's surgery is over! She went in at approx 11:45am yesterday, hoping for Lap. She came out at approx 3:30pm, having to have Open. They spent the first hour just cutting through adhesions. Lap was going fine and they were just about to finish up, when her pouch started "falling apart". They ended up having to open her to repair that. Special stitching and glue. She was very, very sleepy for the rest of the day. In a lot of pain. Miserable night fighting naseau. Feeling dizzy and not able to walk yet, so she's getting congested. She's catching up on her sleep now, and will be going down for her leak test soon. I'm going back this afternoon to sit with her. She is a tough cookie, though, and will be feeling better in no time--it only gets better from here! Audra
