Hugs to each and every one of you! xoxoxo. I got my prescriptions for the gas pain and going to see the doctor on Monday to remove the staples. I'm not giving up!

All of you are awesome! I'm going to pick up some meds now that my doctor prescribed me at discharge this morning. They offered me a pneumovax and flu shot and I accepted and the nurses and residents told me to come back soon. The staff were very nice and supportive. All of you are so supportive too. Scared to cough and sneeze with these staples hanging on to my stomach.

Didn't get a chance to tell you Happy Belated Birthday!

Thank you ladies...reading each of your posts gave me hope. My doctor told me to continue the diet to lose more weight because he said my liver was still large. I have to fight this. I' m still crying on top of my ipad. I'm gonna ruin this thing :-D

I'm thinking of u now. Will be praying for you Superstar! :-)

Looking great! God bless you!

Waiting to hear from you and Kerry. I was thinking about you and prayed for all of us. I know your surgery will be sucessful. I hope the next time around is sucessful for me too.

My surgery was unsucessful...I was admitted at 8:30 am in the morning and ready for 9:30 am. The surgeon made 6 incision outside my stomach area and inserted the larpoc. equipment with air. Then they had to abort the srugery because my heart became weak and my heart rate was so low. My blood pressure went down to 70/40. They pulled the plug and the next thing I knew my surgeon was in the recovery room and told me that he almost lost me because of my heart and pressure. I was devastated and I started to cry. I don't understand why this happened to me? My Cardiologist told me that I was fit to do this surgery and he cleared me. After that they kept me in the hospital for evaluation. They ran some tests on me. They took many blood drawing, a heart cat scan, and 2D echo. All came out negative. Even though the procedure wasn't done I was in pain and haven't eaten for 3 three days. Today they discharge me and I have mild gatric pain. The doctor said to me to schedule an appointment for Monday to discuss my condition and to reschdule my surgery. I'am so hurt and tramatized I don't know what to do now. I guess it was bad luck for me. I'm home know and I'm still crying. I can't believe I had a brush with death.

Happy Happy Joy Joy for you! Loved reading your updates and you look fabuuuuuuulous!

Thanks! Definitely gonna try it!

Yay!!! The hospital just called me. My admission time is 9:30am tomorrow. They said I have to be there at 8am.

Is horrible because it is a constant reminder but we only got memories. I just find it kind of weird that the tourist at NYC like to take pictures with the victims family. One year a tourist from France wanted a picture with us. They were nice but still weird.

The hospital gonna call me at 3pm today for the time tomorrow. I'm telling my kid to stay off the phone.

Thank you Juditha. You all make me feel better :-)

I live at Staten Island, NY but I'm staying at my Parents house at Bayonne, NJ because my Mom takes care my 12 year-old. My Mom is my Guardian Angel

Thanks, your words are so kind..your husband is an Angel. My daughter was only 8 when it happened. I hated the phone calls when they kept finding his remains. Each call was a healed wound opened all over again.I want this depressing day to be over and start a new one tomorrow.

Thanks Lydia...I was nervous before and now I'm like you! I can't wait for tomorrow morning.

My Mom went to the GNC store and brought a TOTAL LEAN SHAKE vanilla bean flavor. It has a fantastic taste. It has 25 grams of protein. To me it tastes like an ice cream shake.

Thanks...feeling better to know you are well :-)

How long was the the procedure? I'm glad is over for you. Get well soon.

Ohhhhh Lordy!!! Is my turn tomorrow. Overwhelmed this morning because my oldest daughter Dad was killed on September 11 and she's at the ceremony as we speak and she thinks I'm going to die too. RIP ANDREW JOSEPH BAILEY 4/20/72 - 9/11/01

Good luck! Hoping you'll have a speedy recovery and my prayers are with you.
