Week 2 - Hi Everyone!  Just checking in. I had my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago today. I've been feeling okay -- some days are better than others. I'm hydrated throughout the day, but ...

Post Op Day 2 - I made it! My surgery lasted longer than normal (3.5 hours) which is unusual according to Dr. K. He discovered a hiatal hernia which had not shown up on my upper GI nor my chest...
