Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! Your journey will have moments to “pause” - Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/133 Good luck!

MS TOWANA SOUNDS FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE SOUNDS 100% BETTER THAN YESTERDAY & SHE SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD THEN ... SHE IS DOING GREAT! HER VOICE SOUNDS STRONG ... ACTUALLY, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD JUST HAD MAJOR SURGERY, YOU'D NEVER SUSPECT ANYTHING BY HER VOICE. ALL OF US WHO HAVE NOT HAD WLS YET ... GOOD NEWS ... IT'S NOT AS BAD AS WE MIGHT BE IMAGINING! IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, SHE SAID, "GO LAP" ... NOT TO SCARE THOSE WHO ARE HAVING "OPEN' BUT THE "LAP" IS RELATIVELY EASY. SHE SAW DR BYRNE & HE IS PLEASED WITH HER PROGRESS. SHE ONLY USED THE MED PUMP ABOUT 3 TIMES, SO SINCE SHE WASN'T NEEDING IT, THEY HAVE TAKEN IT OUT ALREADY. SHE HAS SOME PAIN, BUT IT IS NOT SEVERE. THEY TOOK THE FOLEY CATH OUT TODAY. SHE WAS HAPPY THEY LEFT IT IN YESTERDAY AS SHE REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE GETTING UP TO USE THE RESTROOM. TODAY IS A DIFFERENT STORY ... SHE HAS BEEN WALKING ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH HER DAUGHTER, TAYELOR. NOW THAT SHE IS UP & WALKING, THE GAS PAINS ARE DEMINISHING NICELY. THE MORE SHE WALKS, THE BETTER SHE FEELS, SHE SAID. SHE HAD THE "SWALLOW TEST" THIS MORNING & NO LEAKS SO SHE GOT HER 1st 3 LITTLE CUPS OF JUICE. SHE'S SIPPING BUT A LITTLE BEHIND ... NO STOMACH PROBLEMS FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF FLUIDS. &, HERE'S HER "WORDS OF WISDOM" ... THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS GO INTO THIS SITUATION WITH A CALM, POSITIVE ATTITUDE. IF YOU HAVE THAT, YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT ALL & PROGRESS QUICKLY. SHE THINKS SHE WILL BE OUT OF THE HOSPITAL MONDAY ... I DON'T KNOW, AS GREAT AS SHE IS DOING, IT'D BE NICE FOR HER TO GET OUT TOMORROW, WOULDN'T IT!?! SHE SENT HER HEARTFELT APPRECIATION FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS & CONCERN FOR HER. GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK ... &, TOWANA!

Posted at 9:02 PM EST on 10/07/2005 GUESS WHO CALLED!?! I GOT A CALL FROM MS TOWANA AT ABOUT 5:30pm; SHE JUST GOT INTO HER ROOM. SEEMS THEY DIDN'T RELEASE SOMEONE FROM THE HOSPITAL SO THEY HAD TO KEEP HER IN RECOVERY ALL DAY & THEN PUT HER IN ANOTHER AREA BECAUSE THE BARIATIC WARD WAS STILL FULL. SHE SAID SHE WAS A LITTLE SORE BUT DOING WELL. SHE SAID THE WORSE PART WAS THE GASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (see the little puff of gas coming up? hahahahaha!) & NOT BEING ABLE TO GET IT TO MOVE. SHE FIGURED THAT WHEN SHE GOT TO WALK, THAT WOULD MOVE EVERYTHING AROUND SO SHE COULD GET RELIEF. I TOLD HER THAT EVERYONE WOULD KNOW SHE WAS A WLS PATIENT BECAUSE OF HER "MUSICAL" WALK "TOOTING" ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HALL. SHE SAID, "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH DDDDDAAAAAWWWWWNNNNN, DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" GOD BLESS ... DAWN & NICK
