Surgery Day!

This is Dave, Teri's husband writing for our patient. Teri asked me to let you all know that the surgery went well. The doctor actually said she did "beautifully." After a long day of delays at the hospital, the road to recovery is under way. She has a little bit of pain...to be expected...but she has already been up walking and doing the breathing exercises. Nothing yet to eat or drink...not until tomorrow when they will run an "x-ray" to determine that there are no leaks. The doctor said she may be able to come home as early as 5:00 p.m tomorrow.

Teri's determination and motivation will help her through the next days and weeks of recovery and life-changing diet adjustments. She WILL succeed!!! Thanks for all of your prayers and encouraging words.
