Hello friends, I'm officially a "Loser" now. It is with great pleasure that I receive this title :) I'm post op thank God. Had a very uneventful surgery. As promised, my procedure indeed ended up to be Lap. What I felt was Gas pressure, not real pain thank God. I walked four hours later. Waddled in the haze of Drugs is more like it... I had more nausea than pain and the meds worked great. I never would have imagined how good Jell-O, Chicken broth and Italian ices could taste:) Cedar Sinai hospital and staff are super and they really cater to you. I felt like some celeb. on the 8th floor... The only regret that I have is that I haven't done this surgery a long time ago... but I'm really looking forward to making up for lost time... Oh, before I forget. Imagine my surprise when walking the hallways at the hospital I met a woman whom I haven't seen for 30 years. We used to work together... Out of Millions in LA we run into each other both having surgeries on 10/10 It is such a coincidence that I had to mention it. Patty M. doesn't know it yet but I consider her to be my angel. She called me at the hospital and let you all know how I was doing. You are a real pal angel Patty. Your support is invaluable, xox. So you may all ignore my comment at the top of my page saying that I don't know who my angel is yet.. All of you were so wonderful and supportive and God bless you all. Love, Margi

For those of you interested, I spoke with Margi yesterday and she was doing fine. She asked that I let everyone know she was up walking the night of her surgery and said it wasn't as difficult as she thought it might be! Always good to know.

Patty M. 22 years, 6 months ago

Dear Margi, I'm watching the clock today, knowing that you are "under" right now. But with the best surgeon you could possibly have!!! I'll try and check on you tonight or tomorrow. I know today will be the toughest day, but each day gets easier! Welcome to "the other side!" Best wishes, Patty Morris

Hey, Kiddo, being a recent surgery patient myself, I can certainly relate to all the doubts and misgivings. But rest assured you have made the right decision. Congrats on your up-coming surgery. My thoughts and prayers will be with you through your surgery and recovery. I pray that the operation and recovery period will be problem free and as painless as possible.

God bless this web site and its founder. I'm so grateful! To all of you who are scheduled, I pray for and wish a complication free surgery and easy, speedy recovery and a very wonderful journey as losers- really winners "Big time" For those who are still waiting I pray for a speedy process so you too could join us on this journey...
