My sons surgery Monday!!

Hi everyone!

So tomorrow is the day!!  My youngest son Chris has surgery at 8:30 and Mike has surgery at 10:30!! We decided to drive to Flint tonight and get a hotel about a mile from the hospital because the roads are horrible and we have to be to the hospital by 6:00 AM.  It took us 2 1/2 hours to get here from Midland which is normally a 50 minute drive.  I can see why they say you have a better chance of dying in a car accident than on the operating table!! 

Anyways, please say a prayer for my two sons tomorrow!!  I am excited for them to begin this journey.  They have been doing their 2 week liquid diet and Mike is down 30 lbs and Chris about 24!!  So they are off to a good start.

Thanks everyone for all the support!

Wow!  How exciting...it's great that they will be going through this together. 
I will send up prayers for them, a successful surgery and speedy recovery!

We'll be waiting for an update..... the boys are in my thoughts and prayers today.

They both should be about done now, hope everything went well.  Keep us posted please.

BTW 30 lbs and 24 lbs is AWESOME!!!  I'm so happy for them.

Thanks girls!  One down and one to go.  Chris is in recovery right now and Mike is still in surgery.  I will update a little later when they are both in their room.  They had a riot with the nurses this morning in pre-op joking around and all.  Then, the nerves set in :-)

Lori - love your new picture!  You look great!

Sending up good thoughts and prayers for both of them!  How exciting - and they have you to give all your wealth of knowledge, advice and support! 

Both made it through surgery fine and are now in their room sleeping.   They have them sharing a room which is good for me!  The nurses said they will be in within a couple hours to get them up to start walking!!

God bless them and keep them Both safe on this journey
Keeping you all in my prayers today and Welcome them to the losers bench from the Michigan Oh forum!

 

I agree it is awesome they can go through this together.  What a remarkable story to follow your families journey.  Best wishes! Keep us posted.

Thank you Jennifer!  I am so proud of my kids and going through this.  My daughter, who had the surgery in May is down 98 lbs and I am looking forward to my boys experiencing the same!

Your surgery is coming up soon!!  Good Luck to you!
