Thanks for the update Marsha - its comforting to

hear from those who have just crossed to the other

side. And good luck to everyone who has surgery

over the next few weeks. I hope to join the group

during the first week of October, if I can get

everything from my PCP so I can submit my packet

by the end of next week. Waiting is so hard -

can't wait to get approved and on the schedule!

- waiting in Chicago

Hi all:

Well, just wanted to log-on and let all of you know how the three of

us are doing: myself, Marsha Biggs, Lundahl, and Marjory Sumlin.

We had the MGB surgery on Wed., Aug. 30, and we're all doing just

fine. To say that the surgery was a " piece of cake " I think would be

overstating it, but we've all agreed that we have felt worse pain in

our lives. The last 3 days have felt like you've done about 100

situps, but it is getting better every day. We're all still here in

Durham, awaiting the Tuesday clinic to get our staples removed. The

clinic is a lot of fun, meeting your support group, and you also

learn a lot from it. Dr. Rutledge is extremely easy-going, and

answers all the questions you have.

The important part is to " walk, walk, walk " after surgery to get

the " gas " out of your system. We can't emphasize that enough as

you'll feel so much better. We were fortunate that we had 5 MGB

patients right next to each other, so sometime during the day or

night, you had one or another check up on you to see how things were

going! Support is extremely important!

Two of us are in the same hotel, and I would recommend that highly

when you have a surgery date to 'room' next to another MGB. That way

when you have questions or certain things happen to you, you can

discuss it with them and feel better when the other person has

experienced the same thing.

We're all glad to be " on-the-other-side " now, and am looking forward

to a new and healthier future.

Take care, and write us when we get back (around Sept. 6) and we'll

be glad to fill you in on any information you need.

Keep hanging in there...it WILL be worth it!
