I'd like to give everyone a head's up. My buddy Dave sent me a message stating that he's going back into surgery to repair a hole in his stomach as well as remove an abscess that was created by the infection. It is not entirely related to the stomach surgery he had(the one I had is completely different), but it certainly has complicated things. Japan does not perform gastric bypass so no one there is familiar with what he had done. He has not decided yet if he will have the surgery done in Japan or in the USA. Dave is upbeat and optimistic, and believes that the surgery he had done was far worse than what he's having done now.

I'd like for everyone to keep him in their prayers. He's a guy who has faced much adversity and he needs every little bit of help he can get.
