Question:
Profiles of those with serious troubles who did ok after awhile

I am attempting to cheer up a post op who had surgery in december and numerous serious complications since then includuing a ruptured pouch and now blood clots. He isnt member here. He is a friend of Jens and is in the hospital presently I would appreciate info on these folks. I want to print their profiles and give them to him. Please help me in this worthwhile effort. Thanks in advance:)    — bob-haller (posted on January 26, 2003)

Bob, I found a few who might be helpful. I didn't have time to read "everything" in them, but I hope it helps: Karla Krueger, Rebecca Perkins, Sandra Moore, Molly Ballesteros, Tina R., Joy M., Cheri McGee. Best wishes and prayers for your wife's friend.

Bob, check my profile. I've had a whoop-de-so time but after about eight months I was able to say I made the right choice. I am 68 years old and have ME/CFS which flared up and knocked me on my tush. Surgery was 2/21/02 (at 325) and in September I was finally able to take my first shower by myself (with my homemaker nearby) -- what a victory! I've lost 95 lbs and can move ever so much better, and Saturday I drove to the grocery store and shopped a little for the first time in over eleven months! Ah, life is good. Tell your friend to put up his dukes and start fighting! Nina in Maine
