Well, one of the people I care about the most is getting the RNY next week. The Band wasn't really an option for him due to a whole host of consideratations. I really, really wish he was getting the band, and I'm sooooo afraid for him. I mean, really afraid for him. He has some differeent health issues, and his life will dramatically improve once he starts to loose weight. He's about 450 right now, so obviously, he needs to loose the weight.

Please send your prayers and white lights, light prayer candles or however you feel best connected to the Great Spirit, God or The Gods.

Crystal, first Im reading of this thread.

I certainly WILL say a prayer for him today AND tomorow.

Keep us informed.

Thoughts, prayers and loadsa love coming from England.

My buddy is doing great! His procedure was actually on Tuesday but he was home Friday, and called me on Saturday.

I don'thave all the particulars yet, but he's really doiing great. They did most of the RNY via LAP, but apperently they "dropped" something and had to open him up. He figures that he will have a 6 week recovery.

Thank-you everyone for your kind thoughts and words. I have to continue to hope that he keeps doing well!
