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.

I just got back home. The Mrs agreed that I should wait at home (10 minutes from the hospital). I’ll be going back when she gets into her room; probably around noon. I’ll make an update report sometime this evening. (All who have been on the thread will be pinged.)
The lady who was talking to us this morning was one of (if not the) first to get this procedure done here, eight years ago. She was very good, In fact, this whole experience has been a marked contrast to many past bad experiences we have had with the system with her parents.
That’s it, for now. Thank you all for continued prayer. She told me that she has had very little anxiety at all over this; and that is out of character. God (and His people) are good.

Thursday afternoon update Mrs Don-o went through the surgery with no complications. It was actually finished sooner than we anticipated. She was in her room by around eleven, having been wheeled into the O.R. at around eight. She was having no discomfort save a little throat irritation; her vitals are all good and she looked like she had just awoken from a nap. She has a surprise for her visitors. Wearing one of these
She says, “Well, they told me this was going to make me a brand new person, but I don’t feel any different. Do you notice anything?”
So, all is well. She did say that she was in a praying mood; so I will take the ping list I made for her to have. Once again, we thank you all for being a part of this episode in our lives.
