Sharon's surgery went well and she is doing fine. Part of me can't help but fear the worst when someone's going under and it's such a relief when it's done.
This wasn't a surprise, but she hadn't wanted me to mention it until I was able to say it was all done and successful (she doesn't like to worry folks). It was a Roux-en-Y (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_bypass_surgery#Gastric_bypass.2C_Roux_en-Y_.28proximal.29) that was scheduled quite a while ago.
BTW, thank heavens for a combo of provincial and employer's health insurance! I caught a glimpse of some of the paperwork: the bed alone is worth something like $4000 a day!
I hope she has a speedy recovery and it works out wonderfully for her. I have had great success with my gastric band and don't regret the decision to have that surgery for a moment. Unfortunately insurance did not cover it, but I still think it was worth it.
