Hey everyone , I am down at Anitas right now in Elmira, I just got released from the hospital today , surgery went great.. Took them an hour to do it,, thats it,... he said my insides were all perfect made it very simple to do .... and i have lost 8lbs so far.. woo ****** hoo.... im very sore and weak still of course, i have a gernade drain stickin out of my stomach and its hurts a bit... and 5 other small incisions...... I was not able to get released sooner cuz on wed. i went down for my upper gi ...leak test to see if i had any leaks and stuff.. well no leaks.. but the fluids stayed right in my stomach ..and didnt drain down to the intestines, so i had to stay 2 extra days... it didnt drain cuz it was too swollen still.. but now im sipping my liquids, havin a bit of jello here and there and just taking it really slow,.... i will get back on here when i get home,, i will be home tuesday after my post op appt. ..... talk to you all laters!!!! Bridget

Glad to see that you made it home safely! We are both now Official Losers !!!! I dont have a scale in my house so I dont know how much I have gained, plus I got my monthly visitor 2 days ago. I also have my first post-op appointment on tuesday so I will update with the weight loss then. ~Im Gifted
