Yeah! Home from Hospital!

I came home yesterday after my surgery on Monday morning. Dr. Fedorak was awesome and the Bariatric unit/staff were so great! It is good to be home. I did have to come home on oxygen and will be on it for about a week... but other than that I am feeling great and getting around. Now the wirlwind begins!!!   It is so weird all of the emotions I have been going through. When they were wheeling me into the OR I just started crying. Fran assured me this was normal:) When I woke up.. it was reality that WOW I really did this! Talking to my daughter has been great and thank you for all of the great advice.. She has had a lot of questions but also gets things a lot more than I thought she would. We are trying to keep things as normal as possible for her. She loves seeing Mommy eat with a baby spoon LOL! I will post in a few days how things are going. Sarah

Congrats Sarah! I am  glad you are doing so well! Looking forward to your updates! Holly

Congratulations!!!!  Yes, you are in for a whirlwind ride, but it is fun and exciting.  Keep us posted on your progress!!!!

Congratulations! Now the real fun begins!!! It's absolutely normal to cry and be upset before and after surgery. Major surgery with a subsequent lifestyle change is a big deal. Your doing a great job and I love that positive attitude. Keep it up and let us know how your doing.

Congrats on making it to the "losing side"!! :-) Yes, you are in for a roller-coaster of emotions.  Mine began in the hospital as well and lasted for quite some time afterward.  You go through a phase of "what did I do to myself?"...but it passes quickly enough.  Just keep reminding yourself that you did this for a very good reason and in the end it's all worth it.  :-)  I'm a little over a year out now and am down 150lbs from my highest weight...so yes, it's worth it!  Take things one day at a time m'dear and you will be just fine. :-)  Good luck and again, congrats on your new life! :-) ~Maria
