Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Dear Friends, Here is the info on my upcoming dual surgery. I will have surgery this Wednesday, July 31 at 7:30 AM. The hospital's name, address and phone number are: St Luke's Episcopal Hospital Texas Medical Center 6720 Bertner Avenue Houston, TX 77030 Telephone: For those who don't know St Luke's, this is a really good hospital. It is the one both former and current President Bush use when they have to be in the hospital. It is the home of the Texas Heart Institute where most of Houston's heart transplants are performed. I have to be at the hospital at 6:00 AM and the surgery is scheduled to begin at 7:30 AM. That may be pushed back till 9:00 AM if the operating room isn't ready in time as there is another short procedure scheduled before me. I will have the incisional hernia repaired first. It is 12 " by 14 " so that is expected to take 4 to 6 hours. Once that procedure is complete a second team will perform the panniculectomy. They hope to remove about 40 pounds of excess skin and stubborn fat during that procedure. I will be in surgery all day, so it will be a long hard day. Please keep a good thought and remember me in your prayers! I love and appreciate you all so much! Davenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
