Just Got home and feel GREAT

I had my surgery May 5th, everything went very well. Was going nuts by the evening of the 6th and was more than ready to go home. They released me this morning at 9:30. Hope everyone else who had surgery on May 5th is doing as well as I am. Glad to be home, Chris

Welcome home! it is great to hear your doing well! I had surgery on Monday and was released on Wed. I was more than ready to high tail it home, the hospital bed was killing me! But take care and get much rest! and hey we are now on the loosing side! don't it feels GREAT!!!

Hi Tanya, I have never been so happy to be a loser, lol. How are you feeling, any complications with your surgery? take care and happy losing Chris

Hi Chris, Welcome Home . So glad everything went well for you. Now rest and recover. Jean

Thank you Jean and good luck on your upcoming surgery ! Chris

Hi Chris, I just had my surgery on Tuesday and came home on Friday. I'm having a bit trouble understanding how much fluids we are suppose to be taking in. The simple things in life are the hardest they say. Is it just 6-8 oz. per day including the meals. It seems like that is not enough to stay hydrated? Can you help? How are you doing it? Glad to be home too Pat

Hi Pat, I was told that I had to sip water all day long , wanted me to get about 64oz in a day. Stop 30 minutes before and after eating, but other than that sip, sip, sip. They told me to get one of those baby sippy cups so to keep the air down. I haven't had any problems drinking. maybe I'm a ferak but no problems at all to speak of. Well, I take that back, I think I have turned into a blood hound, because I pick up every smell of food cooking for miles around. The weather has been so nice here and everyone is BBQing and it's killing me, lol Make sure you get your fluids you don't want to get dehydrated. Anthing else you need help with feel free to write. My docotrs office sent me home with a WLS bible and read it evey day. Chris

Chris, So glad you're doing well. Care to share the WLS bible. I'm not sure yet what info I will receive. My surgery is the 14th, Yea! Ann

Hello Ann, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have, just write me and I'll do my best to look it up. Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery. I'm sure you will do great. Happy Mothers day, Chris
