April - you look GREAT!!! I think the ball fell when Rhonda left. I am going to do what I can to get one started at Keesler - we'll have better access to the poeple we need there anyhow, even though Dr. Dolan is deployed, and the plastic surgeon is getting ready to be deployed (WAAA!!!).

Dr. Dolan is deployed. His nurse gave me the phone number to the ladies who are supposed to be having the groups. I am going to call them and see if they still are. If not, his nurse wants to start one up at Keesler, and I will be helping her on that, so I will get the word out when I find out when and where.

The last time I got and e-mail was in December 2006. Dr.Dolan at Keesler was talking about  setting them back up . Since they are doing the surgery. Iam not sure I have been out of the loop for awhile. But it might be worth checking into. I would like to have the group start back up. Wanda Weimer

They used to post every month with the date and time, but I haven't seen one for the coast in months.  I think there was one or two after Rhonda left then nothing.  Maybe you guys could get one back started.  You are good at rallying, Connie.  You could be a great leader.   Melissa P.S.  How are you feeling these days? 

Just got a question and don't know why I didn't ask this yesterday on my post. Did anyone have to stay in ICU their first night? My surgeon told me that there was a possibility that I might have to stay in ICU the first night so that they can keep a close eye on me. I was just curious about it is all. Also anyone know about how much the Optima Slimfast runs? I have to drink those 3 times a day during me 2 week liquid diet. Anyways can't think of anything else atm but if i do i will be sure to post it..Thanks for all the info you all have given me. Thanks Sonya
