Angel update ~*~ I visited with Larry and Dianne last night at the hospital in Nashville. We enjoyed a wonderful time together. Larry's doctor, Dr. Husted, came by to talk with Larry and Dianne about his decision to change the procedure he wanted to preform on Larry. He felt that Larry would better benefit from the DS as opposed to the Fobi pouch. Dr. Husted felt Larry would lose more of his excess weight with the DS. Larry was in agreement with his doctor and felt confident in his opinion.

Angel update ~*~ Larry went into surgery this morning at 8 a.m. and came out at 3:15 p.m. Dr. Husted found a large stone in Larry's gall bladder and it was causing Larry much pain, Larry no longer has a gall bladder!! Larry's intestines were VERY confind and this made the surgery rather difficult. Dr. Husted also took Larry's appendix. Larry came thru the surgery very well but will be in ICU for the remainder of the day and into tomorrow morning. He is on a respirator. They are hopeful that he will come off of it in the morning. Larry will be in the hospital for 7 days and will not have anything to eat for 5 days. Welcome to the thinner side of life Larry!!! You made it thru!!! Congrats Larry!!!!!
