johns surgery

I am supposed to be having the sleeve on Feb. 3rd, but this is really scary. I see what you are saying, and I guess it is like with anything else, risks and complications. I think I was just ignoring them, because I want to be thinner so badly. I have a heart condition and asthma, I can't help but think that both would be so much better if I weighed less, and I am a terrible dieter. I guess it comes down to  ...  do the benefits outweigh the risk. Thank the Lord you two realized what was happening, and had immediate surgery, it could have been even worse. I have heard terrible things about when stuff leaks into your abdominal cavity, it is truly life threatening. Please take care, and keep us all posted.   

OMG - I am having surgery next Saturday and I am totally freaked out.  I don't mean to make this about me, I'm so glad that you were able to handle this swiftly before more damage could occur.  I hope that John recovers quickly and has no additional issues!  You are both in my thoughts and prayers.  I have tremendous respect for you to come through this and not bad mouth Dr. Almanza or Dr. Betancourt.  I'm sure others would not be so generous.
