Update on MelissaF
From her hubby, sent at 5:05 p.m. Eastern time.
Hey all -
Melissa just got out of surgery about 45 minutes ago. She was in there for nearly 7 hours. Just heard from the Doc and all went great. In fact, he said that it went better than expected as he was able to get everything done with less cuts than expected. He removed around 7 pounds of fat from her when doing the LBL. He also said that it doesn't sound like much, but fat doesn't weigh much at all and that it was a lot. Doc says she looks like a brand new person and was ecstatic with her results.
Right now we are waiting for her to get out of the recovery room and we'll go and see her here in the next hour. Just wanted to keep you all updated and thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, calls, e-mails, etc. I know Melissa appreciates it.
