update on ANGELA
Thanks for the update on Angela. Glad she is alive! Open RNY is painful. But pain is temporary. I heard before surgery that it is VERY common to regret surgery while you are in hospital. I didn't, but was expecting to. I know other people have, but it's like having a baby they say - it's the worst pain ever, but you have a beautiful baby and you forget all about the pain or at least know the pain was worth it. I agree that she'll change her mind down the line and know it was worth it.
Glad she is doing okay and soon she won't be in pain anymore. Here's her surgery page where people can post a note if they like:
