CONGRATS!!!!!! i know how it feels . its been a long hard road and finally you can see the light! exciting and scary all at the same time. If i had it to do over again i would ! its been 14 months and 137lbs wouldnt change it for the world. get ready for the ride!

I had my surgery on Monday May 5th and I was able to shower on Wednesday. And let me just tell you that was the best thing I did in the hospital. I will agree that the day of is hell and I wanted to go back to that moring and just run away to McDonalds. I was fine until I really started to know what was going on, which was a lot later in the day. I was functioning and was even on the computer for a bit, but then I realized that I had a tube up my nose and down my throat I freaked out. It was not fun anymore, not to mention since I had to stop my birth control a month before surgery I was on my period. I was not allowed to have the tube removed until Tuesday morning after I had my x-rays done to make sure the pouch is not leaking. But the days got a lot easier. I went home on Thursday morning and the actual going home part sucked. I started to feel sick and I had to hold 2 sets of flowers, so all I smelled were flowers which did not help. But like I said every day get a little easier. I went back to work yesterday and am just a little tired and slow. Not moving as fast as I was pre surgery, but I am still moving none the less. Good luck. Please feel free to ask me anything.

I have been reading all these posts concerning surgery dates, but I can finally join, got my date yesterday, June 2, I can't wait, I almost cried when they told me.
