Come Hell Or High Water

Well after having my RNY surgery cancelled on March 26th due to flooding, I am back on the surgery schedule for Monday.  These 3 weeks have really gone slow.  I have dropped down almost another 10 pounds though (total of 50) so I am sure Dr. Monson will be pleased with that and I am praying it makes the difference in whether or not he can do me laparoscopically.  So if the river behaves itself I should be in surgery by 8:00 AM Monday.  Would appreciate your prayers.

How exciting! I sure won't forget my anticipation for the date of my surgery two years ago. I'm sure your surgeon will be pleased at your preop weight loss if there's a better chance at the lap versus open. The weight loss will help lift the liver from your stomach to make it easier for the lap possibility. Don't be disappointed if he makes the decision for the open, if he feels this is in your best interest. Either way, when you leave the hospital, you're on your way to weight loss. We'll be thinking about you Monday morning!

Hi Shelber....Good luck with your upcoming surgery.  Think positive about everything going as planned.  I know you have waited so long and have been disappointed.  Keep us posted on how your are doing.
  Best Wishes,

NO more water in Fargo, that is the rule!!
Looks like it is West of Fargo getting the bigger problems.
I am glad your date is back on the table and your day is just around the corner.
Wishing you the very best!
