Good morning all- It's finally here, am starting to feel a bit edgy now. Have to be at the hospital for 6:15, surgery at 7:45AM. PLz keep me in your prayers And see you all on the losing side!!! Hugs, Pam

Pam, you will definitely be in my prayers today. Hope everything goes well I am 3 days post op and feeling well. Get up and walk as soon as they let you and you will feel much better. God Bless you, Alice

good luck. tell me the whole truth after ur out. im on the 20th and no sugar coating it. thanks sue c

Sue I had my surgery on the 12th around 9am. I got home from the hospital on the 13th around 4pm. Yes it hurts like heck when you get up or down but the rest of the time it has been manageble. As soon as it is time for me to take my pain meds though I make sure I take them. I figure why be in any pain when you don't have to. My belly has really been doing alot of rumbling today. Kind of like when your'e going to have a whopping case of the runs....sure enough I did and now it is feeling much better. I guess since all you're putting in is liquids that is all that can come out. I really haven't been hungry at all but then I am drinking liquids non stop like my surgeon said all my waking hours. I am sure the liquids will get old by the end of these two weeks but I want to do my best to follow the doctors wishes completely. I guess the high protein drinks have given me extra energy because I have been doing a lot of walking but just here in my house. I can't take the heat. If I can be of any help let me know. I am a work in progress so everyone says.

Pam- Said some prayers for your quick recovery. Because by the time I am reading this...well, I think your out of surgery! Can't wait to read your "I'm home" post. Give us details when you get back! Linda

Prayers going out to you for a swift and uneventful recovery. Let us know how it went. Nickie
