PRAYER REQUEST FOR MRS. DON-O

My wife Mrs. Don-o is having gastric bypass surgery on Thursday, May 8. If all goes well, she should be discharged on Saturday.
She is very confident in the surgeon, who has done over 1800 of these operations (four hour procedure). She is doing all the research possible on her own and expects do fabulously.
The hope is for almost instant relief from diabetes and three or four related co-morbidities. The major post-op risk, statistically, is pulmonary embolism. In her case, this risk is mitigated by the fact that she's been walking and exercising a whole lot, but exacerbated by the fact that she has a presently incurable and progressive form of COPD (rheumatoid-related bronchiolitis.)
She says if y'all would pray for her she'll breathe a lot easier (!) Thanks, everybody.

Yes, they’re slicing off 100 cm of duodenum. That’s over a yard! And yes, it’s that (for whatever reason) that causes, for most, a complete reversal of diabetes.
Thanks to all who are praying for my abdominal well-being. And please remember to keep besieging heaven for Jim Robinson!
P.S. Hi there, Jim Rob! I’m prayin’ for you!

May the Lord bless your wife in this, and may His hand guide the surgeon in his work. AMEN.
BTW - brother-in-law had this surgery two years ago - absolutely incredible results - but be prepared for dramatic changes in dietary habits - some things she liked before will cause ‘unsettling’ of her stomach.

Prayers for your wife. I’m sure she will do fine. So many have had that same surgery. Just do what is required and follow the rules. Good luck to her. I know this will make her happy and hope it all works for you.
To: NautiNurse; Mrs. Don-o; All
Though I won’t respond to each individual, please know that each and every one is gratefully read and deeply appreciated. I will make a ping list and post updates after the surgery (tomorrow).

I knew the actual name of your wife as the pro-life heroine that she has always been long before I ever heard of Free Republic. A rosary for her and your family is on its way. God bless all of you and please convey my personal best wishes to her.
