Tara's Update from Mom

Good Evening Everyone!!! I got back from seeing Tara tonight. Tara had her surgery this afternoon. Doctors said it was a textbook procedure. All went well and she is scheduled to go home on Monday. She knows I am posting this message and I will print out all replies and bring them to her when I see her tomorrow. I know she is VERY happy she did it. I love her and am happy for her.

Hey Tara Welcome to the losing side I'm happy to hear that all went well with your surgery. Wishing you all the best as you continue this journey and much success. Glenda

Hi Tara! Congrats on your surgery this afternoon! Glad to hear that you are doing well. How is the walking going? I am guessing you had your surgery done at Arnot. That is where I had mine done at. They are really wonderful there. Hope all continues to go well for you. Enjoy it here on the "losing side" Sara

This is Tara's Mom again. I forgot to tell all of you that she did walk last night and the nurse had to slow her down. She walked a good distance at a good pace.

Hi Tara~~ Glad to hear that your WLS went very well and your up and walking!!! Sounds like your on the road to recovery WELCOME to the lighter side of life. Sit back, adjust your seatbelt and breathe deeply. This will be the journey of a lifetime. What a special gift you have given yourself. A brand new healthier and happier lifestyle awaits you!! Wishing you all the very best and may all your dreams come true!! Alice
