Hey Daniel, How you doing? I hear from Dana that you are still in the hospital. (Isn't she a sweetheart). It is no fun being in the hospital for just a few days can't imagine a month. I have to thank the big guy upstairs that I didn't have any complications from surgery. I had mine done 6-9-03 and I am down -120 so I am happy. I am glad to hear that your mom is able to be there with you. Family is always a good thing. You have some awesome co-workers too!! This site is so awesome and there are alot of people pulling for you Daniel so keep that chin up and keep us posted. If you'd like to email me feel free to I would like that. Here is a big hug for you ((((HUG))))

Hello Daniel, I also had a leak and other complications, I was sent home from the hospital with a pic line to be hooked up every night to my IV feedings. I could not take anything by mouth for 2 and 1/2 months. I am fine now . I know that it is very depressing to be one of the very few people to have complications. I kept blaming myself. After all this surgery was elective. But I feel better than I have in over 25 yrs. I know I will be around to see my grandchildren grow up. I know in a couple of months you will be feeling better and ready to get on with the rest of your life. Hang in there and just know that things do get better. Evelyn
