HI guys, I had my surgery July 3, and came home yesturday. I want to wish you guys all the best. The best advice I could give is to be mentally prepared, for the pain ahead and the challages to come. See you on the lighter side.....

We'll be having surgery on the same date! I will be in Houston, Texas. Where are you? God bless!

I can understand the "working hard to be positive" statement. My surgery is coming up toward the end of July, and I, too, am working to be positive. Trust in our Lord. He will carry you through this. God bless!

I am riding the emotional roller coaster. I am set for surgery on July 23 in Houston with Dr. Naaman. I am excitedly scared to death. Does that make sense? Does anyone else have the question about leaving last wishes....just in case?? I can't decide if that is negative thinking or just good planning. I really am looking forward to life on the other side...I can't wait to have this behind me.

Good luck to you-this will be a wonderful thing for you and your health. I will say a prayer...Leiane Kramer (down south from you in Milwaukee) RNY 7/9/03
