Yay !!! Glad you are doing well, been praying for you :) 

I can't believe I did this!  The experience was good... wonderful nurses and people working with me.  I am in some pain now, but just using Tylenol/Codeine, walking a lot, sipping lots of water and popsicles.  Incisions look good.  The hardest part is not being able to snuggle my little ones!!!  But they understand for now.  Husband is being helpful.  The only issue I had which was unexpected was urinating after surgery.  I'm pretty sure I had a cath. during the procedure, but late last night after trying several times, they had to cath me for me to go, and again today they did that.  (Uncomfortable, but I was in pain from not being able to go!)  I was doing y walking and sipping, but I guess it was the anesthesia.  Anyway, thanks for the support so far, I hope to get to know some more of you on our journey!  

Best of luck Jody and Velma.. you will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow ladies!

See you on the losers bench!!!

Tomorrow is my surgery too.  I have to be there at 5:30am for a 7:45 surgery time.  I had to do liquids for a week and only clear liquids today.  I'm excited too.  It's the first day of the rest of our healthy life.  Blessings to all!  See you on the loser's bench! 

I am having revision RNY surgery tomorrow. My first surgery in 2002 was open, this is to be lapriscopic so I am hoping for less pain than my first go 'round. I am excited about the surgery yet still feeling a bit uneasy about it. I know there is a higher risk of complication with a revision, I am just praying everything goes well. I totally trust my doc and hope he is wide eyed and bushy tailed in the morning! Good luck to all of you having surgery this week, we are doing it for the right reasons we just have to remember our brains aren't being changed so head hunger will always be something to deal with.

Good Luck!
