Hi everyone, I just want to thank you all for your support!!! You guys are the best that's for sure. Well I told you I would let you know what happened when I went for surgery so here its. My best friend went with me. Well she is no longer my best friend. She was not supportive at all and kept telling me that I should stay in the hospital another night. Well since I was doing so well there was no reason and the cost alone would have been well over 1k. I did not lie to her when I told her about my surgery and what it entailed. I think she just didn't listen. She is the type that is just waiting for her turn to speak and doesn't hear a word you say. She was upset that they cut me...uhh last time I heard that's what they do with surgery. I was doing so good getting up the night of and walking and getting all my water in. The day that they discharged me I had already freshened up and taken a long stroll. She called my nurse and pretty much demanded that they keep me another night. She upset me and made me cry, thank God for my wonderful Nurse. She was the best and I will always be grateful to her. So we got a case worker involved and she came and talked to "friend" and she and the nurse both told her if they didn't think I could do for myself they wouldn't release me. She listened to nothing insisting she knew how major this surgery was and well you get the picture. Once we got in the hospital she just kept saying that I had no idea what I got myself into because I would be in major pain and have complications and well just anything negative that you shouldn't say to someone that just had sugery. I called hubby and he and my son came and got my. Sigh I was so relieved and happy to see them. She couldn't wait to get out of there. She and I fought several times and I even at one point told her to leave because having her there trying to make me feel bad was way worse then the surgery itself. I guess you really learn who your friends are. At one point she claimed herself to be the kindest person ever...ha what a laugh!! Well she has taken a new job and when I get back she will be gone.
Now back to the good stuff. I am doing better and better each day. I am amazed at how well I am doing too. I have before and after pics that I will hopefully be adding to my profile. It will be friends only so if you want a looks see when I get them up just send me a message to add you.
I am so far very very pleased. I am definitely in swell hell but I knew I would be, It has gone down some though, and I can't wait to see the results without the swelling. I go back to see Dr. K tomorrow afternoon and am hoping to get at least one or two drains removed. Honestly the drains are the worst part for me right now they leak and are just bulky.
Hey Anna! Glad your surgery went well and you are having a good recovery!! And your friend unfortunately sounds just like my step sister. So I can totally understand what you were going thru...but it all works out! You got your procedure, hubby and son came to the rescue and now you are home. Enjoy your time of recovery as much as you can. Once all is said and done, I bet you will not have much down time from you being to busy working and enjoying life!! Congrats again!

Thanks Steph, I am definitely living the life of a pampered woman right now. Hubby and Logan are great expecially hubby. He waits on me and had taken the whole week off and cleaned a different room in he house each day. I went to the doc today and he said I am doing fantastic. He removed one of my drains so I am happy.

Hi Anna,
Just wanted you to know I went through the same thing with an ex friend who didn't understand when I went through my GB surgery. But I have learned that in due time we will get new and better friends. Congratulations on your surgery and I am glad you are feeling better and I would love to see the before and after since there are some things I would like to have done in the near future myself.

Oh, Anna...I'm so sorry about the "friend" issue. It is such a disappointment when people show their true colors and those happen to be ugly ones.
But, I am so glad to know that you are feeling better each day. I can only imagine how painful and unusual you must feel. I'm sure that the final results will be more than worth the trouble. And, of course, I am going to send a friend request...I just have to know what I may be in for later on down the line! In the meantime...be good to yourself and take it easy.
