Topic: May 14 was my date - home and doing great
Hi there
Today is Thursday and I had my RNY on Monday - I am home since last night and doing great. No complications, the hospital stay was uneventful, my wonderful surgeon (Alex Nagle at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago) said I was on an "A" course. I have been able to get in 73 grams of protein today, mostly through shakes - I am really full but otherwise ok. I got outside and walked three times today, half a block each time but still. I just wanted to give those who are still preop a little hope that things can go well. I know I am only a few days out and more challenges lie ahead but I was so worried about the horror stories I had read about the hospital, the immediate hellish aftermath - so far, so good. I am just focusing on following my doctor's orders to the letter. Hang in there May 2012-ers! Good luck to all
