How's my fellowe June 5th losers?

I hope everyone is having easy recoveries. I came home yesterday afternoon after I finally peed enough to satisfy them! I'm getting a little achey now and think it's time for my meds and to head off to bed. My aunt and uncle came over and I sat up a little longer than usual. Now I'm worn out. Today has been my easiest day and I hope things continue to improve. How did everyone else do? I stupidly weighed myself yesterday afternoon and actually gained 5 lbs. while I was in the hospital so I'm staying away from the scale for now. I know it's water and swelling so I didn't get too down over the 5 lb. gain. And I'm wearing a binder that I figure must be at least a pound! Well, I'm off to bed. Talk to everyone tomorrow. Take care, Cindy

Hi cindy, I had mine June 5th as well, doing good, sooooo glad to be home. Hope you are doing well. Best of wishes. Traci

I also had mine june 5th. I had my surgery in Monterry Mexico, with Dr. Rodriguez. I was self pay and just could not raise the 16,500 dollars to have the surgery in Kansas City. I feel as though I made the right choice. My wife and I were treated great in Mexico. I do feel a little sore but walking and moving around does seem to help out. Today is Saturday and I am already back to work. My biggest problem so far is all the gas, thats what is most painful. I try and squeeze a pillow against my chest and shake it. It seems to help but only briefly. The post-op diet is going well. Well it was when I was at home. I am the Executive Chef of a restaurant called Brickoven Courtyard Grille in Topeka Kansas. Let me tell you we have the best food around. So as you can imagine today is not a good day. I have to work today and Sunday then i will take Monday and Tuesday off by that time I will be able to start eating soft food.

Glad you are both home and doing well!!

Had mine the same day and am doing really well. trying to drink as much as they want, but get tired of drinking. another week and a half on liquids, and then on to pureed soft food. haven't had to much of the gassy feeling, but burping alot. walking well, even washed the dishes. probably doing to much. go to the doctor next week, and am not stepping onto the scale until then, i've promised myself. haven't felt hungry yet amazingly since i haven't eaten anything in about eight days, but i'm glad. off all my meds, and am doing great with it. glad your doing good. take care.
