I go Saturday and get my 10 staples. I went in weighing about 241 maybe a little higher and this morning I weigh 225. So I am very glad I did this and I am so happy to hear my teenagers say WOW We're goona have a skinny mom! They have never seen me that way so I am very excited about that also. Everyone keep up the good work and Congratulations. For the ones having surgery Good Luck!!!!!

Topic: Hollie (blessed2bme) Update - out of surgery at noon, all is well
I went to see Hollie this afternoon. She had been out of surgery for about 4 hours. She was walking the halls and thankful that her new life has begun.
Her husband was attending to her so lovingly.
Please keep her in your prayers.
Blessings,
Angel (Hollies Angel)

Topic: Back Home Finally
I must say, no matter how much you prepare for, you are not ready. This surgery has been vey uncomfortable for me and I have been running a fever up until today.
My surgery was 1/10/08 and I was in the hospital until today. It is good to be home.
I am finding it very hard to get my protein in and fluids as well. I am just not hungry. I am trying though.
I had LapBand surgery in '05 and had the band removed in October. The doctor left the port in just in case I wanted to LapBand again. Since I got the RNY surgery he removed the port. The port area is what is killing me. It is so painful. I have a bruise that goes from my belly button to my left hop area.
Also when I am walking my legs are killing me.
Thanks for letting me vent.
