Wish Me Luck !!

Just wanted to update everyone on my journey. I've been in TN and NY on vacation the last few weeks and haven't posted in awhile. My surgery is scheduled for Monday (7/11/05) at Norton Suburban Hospital in Louisville. I'm having the lap-band surgery with Dr. Geller. I'm supposed to get to the hospital at 4:30 am and have surgery at 7:30 am. If all goes well, I'll be home on Tuesday night and I'll post an update. Thanks to all of you who have sent me messages and been so wonderfully supportive!!! Charles

Just wanted to hop in and wish you a great surgery and speedy recovery. I know you will do super!!!!!!!

Bless you!! Let us know how you are doing as soon as you can!! Blessings Tonya

Tonya, Hi! Thanks for your message! I can't remember if I've told you before - my grandparents lived in Magnolia for many years. As a kid, I loved to go stay with them and visit with the other kids that lived near them in Magnolia. Best wishes! Charles

Good luck Charles.. You will be in my thoughts and prayers See you soon

Tonya, Thanks for the warm thoughts! I'll hopefully be out of surgery and on the way to recovering when the Radcliff support group meets on Monday. Please send them my thoughts and let everyone know that I'll be there for the August meeting. Talk to you later! Charles

I'm sure you'll do just great! I'm looking forward to seeing you on the losing side. Don't forget your chapstick and robe. And when they want you to walk, walk, walk around the ward, do it. Good LUCK! Peace, Kristina 500/456/199

Kristina, Thanks for your message - it is wonderful to have the support of a neighbor! I will definitely take the chapstick and robe and be prepared to walk as soon as I can. Maybe I'll see you at the next E-Town support meeting! Best wishes! Charles

I'll be thinking good thoughts for you on the 11th. Hope you're up to the meeting in Radcliff on the 18th. Now don't go getting TOO sexy for the the group !!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Shirlene Wright

Hi Shirlene! Thanks for your wonderful message! I've never been accused of being sexy and it probably won't start now! See you soon! Charles
