Jannine, I just read your profile page for the first time and it was so encouraging for me. I too was opposed to the surgery and actually bit the head off my PCP when he suggested it. But then started looking at my 3 yr old and realized I wanted her to be proud of her mom and not embarrassed by having a big mother. So I have set my consult and I will see you at the meeting on 8/8.

Hi Everyone, I am just logging on to thank everyone for the the well wishes and prayers that I received..I am doing well....my body is making very weird noises...I guess it is par for the course...anyway just a little note about my journey so far...after surgery I ended up in the ICU because I had an abnormal heart rate or beat. so they wanted to make sure that I was really ok...then I went upstairs to my room...I was discharged on Thursday and came home to the welcome arms of my family...and friends...they are all supportive of my decision...weird thing is I am not hungry and considering I have had only water for 5 days it is baffling me....Dr. Ameri is the best I would recommend him to anyone..ok...gotta run..well walk carefully take shower and then go for walk....please keep all of the encouragement coming....
