Hi everyone. This is Jan's daughter, DeAnne. It is 5:00 p.m., CDT, and I just returned from the hospital about 45 minutes ago. Mom went into surgery at 8:30 a.m. and was in for about 5 hours. Dr. Mitchell said it took much longer than anticipated because of scar tissue and obstacles resulting from the previous WL surgeries. We finally (!) got to see her at about 3:00 this afternoon. She was to be moved from recovery to ICU at 4:00, where she will remain for the night (just precautionary--I'm sure you all know that). She's in quite a bit of pain right now because of the extent of repair (for lack of a better word), so please keep her in your prayers.
