Back @ Home!!!!!!!

Tuesday, March 15, 2005 Hello every one, I had my surgery on Friday March 11, 2005 at Norton's Hospital in Louisville, KY. The first night I can't really tell you much about, but was told by my family that everything went fine. On Saturday march 12, 2005 I got up the first time and it was quit a challenge. I was in and out for almost all morning. I then got up at around 3 PM. Took a sponge bath, put on my own clothes and started to walk around a little. It was not much but every lil thing counts. By the time it hit 8 PM I did almost all rounds by myself and had my first meal. ¼ cup of Broth & a Popsicle. It was delicious I tell ya. Never thought a simple Popsicle could hit a TASTE BUDD the way it did. I am now at home and I am really doing well. I do have some pain killers here butt only need them at night when I go to sleep. The day of my Surgery I got weighed in at 275 pounds & I stepped on the Scale yesterday here at home and only weighed 265 pounds. So I will keep you all updated on my journey. Love Monika

Dear Monika, I am glad you are home and doing well. I had my WLS on March 7th. I'm having a few complications, but each day is getting better (or at least I keep saying that)! My husband is in the military, so we are living in Germany; but, we own a home down in Lebannon, KY. I hope the Kentucky weather is allowing you to get outside and moving around. We are still sort of snowed over. Good Luck and I'll be enjoying my broth and popsicles over here with you! Love, Deb

Congragtulation's I leave on Thursday for my Suregery on Friday. I wll be having my surgery done in Great Falls Montana. Dr Rohrer is a genral surgeon ther that specialized in this procedure. Although I first met him when I had a breat biopsy,(NEG). I've worked in the OR, Recovery and ICU, units and have seen the expression on peples face about that first drink. They all say the samething, I've never known it could be so good. I will keep my sight updated with my progress when I get back Sharon
