So I am finally home from surgery.  I was getting pretty antsy at the hospital and am so happy to be home.  The surgery went pretty much as I expected.  The pain was not too bad, especially with the pain meds.  I am having a hard time getting liquids down, but I am trying.  Other than that, I am having some gas pains and soreness. 

I am so glad that it is over with and I can't wait to start living my healthier life

Good luck to each of you on your journies.  Let us know how you make out.

Hi, I also was a post-Superbowl surgery, the very first one on February 8th at Fair Oaks Hospital after the big blizzard up here in North Virginia/D.C.  I originally was scheduled for 10:30 but I happened to call in on Superbowl Sunday to find out if the snow was making it impossible for surgery. That's when they told me I was at 7:30. Thank God it didn't snow that day and they had a chance to work on the 28" of snow that dropped on Friday and Saturday.  I was so nervous we wouldn't be able to make it in.  I live 35 miles from the hospital and it did take us over an hour to get there.  I had to get up at 3:00 in the morning to make it there by 5:30 in the morning.   

I had RNY surgery and they let me go on the 2nd day because we were having another blizzard.  (Nobody knows how to drive in this stuff in Virginia but we're from Alaska, so we got it covered!)  We still barely got home and the ruts in the road from the ice and snow was killing my incisions.  But glad I got to come home.

I hope your surgery went well and you are having no problems.  I am having a hard time getting in all my liquids and supps.  And I gained 9 pounds!
