this is her husband, john. Trish had complications during the surgery. the doctor cut a hole in her stomach while trying to get her old band out. because of this, he had to stop and open her up and open her up to finishe the procedure. it took 6 1/2 hours for the surgery and she has an cut in her tummy that is about 12 - 14 inches long. she is doing good right now. we will be here at the hospital for the next few days. if everything goes well, we will be able to stay the night at a hotel on sunday night then go see the doctor on monday then travel back home. trish will probibly be bedridden for 2 - 3 weeks.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Trish!

John, thanks for letting us know about Trish and I know you'll take good care of her during her recovery time. Tell her to hang in there and we're all thinking about her!

Trish is still in the surgery center, for tonight. Tomarrow morning, we will probibly be transfering her to a hospital. We'll have to see what happens when the doctor comes in at 7 am. She is in a lot of pain. From what we can tell, her cut runs from her chest all the way down to her belly button. It has been stapled together. If everything goes well, she will get the staples out on tuesday morning and we'll be home on tuesday evening. From there, she will be bedridden for a at least a few weeks, but while I am at work, my Mom will send a nurse to keep an eye on her so she will be fine. She has a lot of people that care about her. She wanted me to tell every one thanks for the blessings and the hugs and the prayers.

Thinking of you both and saying a prayer for a quick recovery. Hope all goes well and you're able to go home and heal. Rest well and know that you're in our thoughts.

Hey John, Thanks for keeping us updated! Hugs and prayers for both of you. Tell her that I'm sure her second band will be wonderful jus like mine is, and to hang in there partner.

Again I'm so so sorry.
