Looking for PenPal Open RnY

My name is Kelly Jansema. I'm from WA but live in the Netherlands with my dutch husband. I'm now 2.5 weeks at home after surgery and have lost 23 pounds. I was scheduled laprascopic surgery but all could not be reached and had to do a partial open. I'd like to chat with anyone who has open surgery. Doesn't matter if it was just now or in the past. I like to chat and get or give answers to help one another to feel we're not alone in this. I do have a great support group with my amazing hubby and his great family but theres nothing like having someone else who's in the same boat. So drop me a line. Take care!

Kelly, I sent you an email. I had open Gastric Bypass surgery April 5,2005. See you lighter. Joanne

I've emailed you Joanne and Sharon but they both bounced back to me just now. Not sure why. I've not had any problems before. Maybe something on your ends although strange that it would be both of you. Can you both email me with a different addy so we can try again? Thanx ladies!!! Kelly
