VIRGINIA'S DOING FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Marchers, I just got off the phone with Virginia. She is doing great She has not used her PCA. She feels fantastic. She said she'd be ready to go home if they would take out the cath. She had her leak test this morning and all was well. Dr. Keith had an associate do her surgery (she said he was tooo cute!!! ) and he did it in under 50 minutes!! Can you say WOW. He specializes in laproscopic surgery. Just wanted to let you know how our secretary extrordinary was doin. Whitney Angels Lori and Virginia Angelettes Lori and Virginia

WOOHOO! Thats excellent! Kelley 8 days and a wake up

God is good !!!!!! So happy to hear she is on the mend. I will keep her in my prayers Chief Nutkin ( Karen)

Did she have laparoscopic RNY in under 50 minutes? I find that hard to believe. I was told 3 to 5 hours and my surgeon is the chief surgeon at Univ. of Washington and he's done literally thousands of open RNYs and lots and lots of them laprascopically. I can't believe a lap was done in under an hour. That's incredible. Rob - caboose

Hey Rob - my surgeon told me the LAP RNY would be about 90 minutes, and he's done a zillion of these. Sure your surgeon wan't talkin about open? mgm 13 dtg

Everything I've heard is that open is a much quicker surgery. It's the lap that takes longer. caboose - t-28

I am so glad to hear that Virginia is doing well. Please keep us informed on her progress. I am still in prayer for her. Shannon The Irish Lassie 3/17/04
