Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 My dear dear friends, I've had a long and exhausting day but wanted to tell you all that today my niece had lap RNY surgery. She is safely on the other side. You all know how much I wanted this for my sister and how much Connie has wanted WLS as well. Carol (my sister) is now 4 months postop and has lost 80 pounds. And now...my hearts desires have come true and Connie had her surgery. I didn't post about it before because this all happened so suddenly. Connie had her OC visit on August 15th and we though she would get a surgery date maybe in October. Imagine our surprise when Doc said it would be soon and she got Sept 18th. Well within a week Connie got a phone call from Doc's office. Seems he had an opening for today and did she want it. Did she ever??!! So this past week has been spent getting last minute tests, pulling together the money (she's a cash pay) and getting her ducks in some sort of a row. But she pulled it all together ) Never a doubt in my mind! So many thoughts and feelings today. Such joy and happiness in having Carol and Connie start their new lives. To know what lies ahead of them....to be able to share in their excitement, happiness and even fears. To see them both with hope again. Hope to live a " normal " life. And for us all...to have such faith, trust and confidence in Dr Fisher. I know that she got as good care as one of his own children would get. He cares so very much for us all. And I do believe that Connie has become special to him already. So my friends....my family and I thank you already for your kind thoughts for us. I know you all care and can feel the love in your words. You are all wonderful people and I'm glad to be part of this family. Love to you all, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Dear Sue, I am happy to hear your news and know the feeling too -- my mom is FINALLY scheduled for a consult on October 1 -- I do think I am just as if not more excited for her than I was for myself. It is such a gift when those we love are going to be around longer and live healthier -- it is just such a great feeling to me. Congratulations on your good news -- that is so great!!! hugz, ~denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
