Dave in NY

Well, I have been successful with my weight loss and now comes the day that all of this work has been for. I will be going in the hospital 1/24/08 to have my surgery. The surgery will last for 5 to 10 hrs depending on what they find. I will be in the hospital from 5 days to 5 weeks. I am hoping for the shorter of both.

I needed to share this out and also same thank you so much to all of you that have made this journey a little easier. Your support prayers and positive vibes have been deeply felt.

Thank you and May God Bless You and Yours

Dave,

I know we only know each other from the forum/online...but there are quite a few of us in Western New York. If you need anything...just know we're here. Rochester's not that far!

Good luck, man.

Dave,
I cannot express enough how much you mean to all of us here, and to me in particular. Your support as Jane and I approached our surgery dates and afterward is greatly appreciated. You are one of those people that clearly care deeply about other people and guess what... you reap what you sew... all that love and caring is coming back at you today.

Jane and I will be with you in spirit tomorrow and in the days to come!!

Best wishes friend!!
-Mike and Jane-
