Doug, you already know how I feel about this surgery, being 8 days post-op and down 18 pounds already, but sweetheart I want to assure you that even though there are a few rough days and I mean only a few, you will be absolutely amazed at how fast you recover and how wonderful you are going to feel. It gets better so very fast and please know that I love you and Lori with all my heart, I am here for you WHENEVER you need ANYTHING so never hesitate to ask. You are going to do so well and I am so happy and excited for you. I am praying for you and for Dr. Drew and Dr. Schwartz at this time and it will all be behind you very very soon. Keep your chins up (hahahaha) and I will see you soon sweetheart. Love you with the Love of the Lord.......Gayle :-)
