This is from John. I went into surgery at 10:00am. Back in room at 12:25 pm. Everything went perfectly! They were able to remove the gall bladder through a laparoscopic procedure with just five small incisions. Doctor wants to monitor me in the hospital for a day for the pancreatitis. I feel great and am looking to break the NPO (nothing per oral) fast I’ve been on for three days. I’m not hungry but I would love about a gallon of Sprite and crushed ice. Thanks for your prayers. Big city hospital. My surgeon looked to be under 25 and the medical staff here looks like the UN. The doctor heading my medical team is from Ramallah. You don’t need to leave Columbus to do international missions.
