Update on Gale

Came through okay just sore.

Yeah Gale. Time to heal.

I'm thankful your surgery went well, Gale. I hope your pain is manageable as you move through these first couple of weeks. I'm hoping to have surgery in July and have been dealing with the same question you had about telling your mother about your surgery. I hate to keep my mother in the dark, but I also don't want her to worry--and I don't want to have to deal with any disapproval from her! So far, I've told only my husband and 3 friends from work who have already had WLS. My family has seen me gain and lose so many times over the years, so I wonder if I'm just trying to protect myself from their wondering how long it'll take me to re-gain this time. But it is a provate decision and no one needs to know unless we choose to tell them, right? Best wishes on your recovery. Kathy

so happy to know Gale did fine...call me when you are up to it.. Kathy, good luck with your upcoming surgery...Dr. Oldham is awesome, I really like him and have a great deal of respect for him as a person and a surgeon... Ryan what can I say about you buddy? you have been so quiet on here..are you feeling better? lets do lunch one day.. Brenda

Sorry I'm late with my sentiments Gale, but I am here now!! I am glad that you came through your surgery with flying colors; take care and be well. Sending good vibes and prayers your way-- Dee
