Christine's surgery

Hi everyone this is Christine's mom she's on her way to the hospital I think I'm more nervious than she is. Neil is with her now and I'm taking the kids up with me when she's in her room. Please say a prayer for her and keep her in your thoughts (which I know u r). I've been on the board as long as Christine has, thinking about surgery myself. One at a time, I think Neil's next then me.I'll keep you up dated on Christine Have a great day memadebbie

Giver her our best, OK??! You all hang in there. This is the hardest part, but it will be over soon! We can't wait to welcome her to the loosing side. Then, one by one, we'll welcome you and Neil too! Let us know how she's doing when you can. Best, Lisa C

Good Morning Memadebbie, Welcome to CT WLS!!! You will find us very supportive and nice people here I am Dr. Aranow s patient and I will be next in probably this fall. I do understand your feeling as I am sure my mom will be your shoe when I will go to hospital. I am going to try to see Christine tomorrow if my son's baseball plays tonight. She is in very good hands with Dr. Aranow. Hope to meet you at Gathering party on June 12th. Kathy

Lisa & Kathy, Gee I thought I was the only person home in the morning. All of you seem like family already .I love this board, it gives me such encouragement.I've had a pretty hard past 5 yrs. Bad car accident am disabbled now(leg brace) but alive. I live with Christine and Neil now, we are all there for each other. As long as Christine's up to it we will all see you at the get together in June memadebbie

I'm rooting for Christine! She is very fortunate to have a great mom for support. Today will feel like it's a 100 hrs. long, but as soon as the day is over, she'll be on her way to a brand new healthy life and what more can we ask for? I will pray for Christine, and I wish you and Neil well too. JA

JA Thanks Christine goes into surgery at 11:30 I can't believe all the things I've already done this morning and it's only 9:50. Must be the adreniline flowing Have a great day Debbie(I took the mema out for down here)

The day will be a long day, but it's the start of wonderful things! I'm sending my best wishes to Christine, and to you! Take care, Kathy F.

Hang in there, Debbie! I LOVE your name!! Anyhoo - the waiting is by far harder on loved ones than the patient. Christine will do great, she has an excellent doctor and support system. Just remember to breathe...relax. And Smile. -Deb Patient of Dr Aranow Surgery date 10/2003 Down 122 pounds
