Question:
Monday is my date!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, 19 July!! I'm having an Open RNY performed by Dr. John Pilcher (cutie!) and Dr. Paul Selinkoff at Southwest Texas Methodist Hospital in San Antonio,Texas. Both are Air Force retired and have been doing this surgery for years and years. I'm very excited and can't wait to get my new life started. Prayers are welcome and encouraged :)!    — Kathy (.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I just had my surgery last Tuesday (July 13th) and I'm doing fine! I was home on my computer updating my profile on Friday! The most important thing to take with you is a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! I wish you well and my prayers are with you! Jodie Suits

Kathy, You won't probably be able to answer my response for quite a while since I am sending you this on 7-20 and your surgery date was 7-19. You will be in pain for a while and probably will not be in front of the computer. Anyway, My surgery date was on 1-13-97 a lucky 13th, but not on Friday. I have lost about 90lbs. but have struggling and at a stand still for the last 6mo. I got married, lost my job and have gone throught a lot of changes and I am hoping that is why I have actually gained back about 8lbs. I am hoping to get a new job soon and get back to my walking regimine which I used to do 1/2 hr. 5 days a week. I have not been walking since I have not worked which is really no excuse, but I am used to a routine, and my routine has been interrupted...anyway, enough about me. Be patient...and Good luck...God be with you...Linda.
