24,25,26 and the big day of 8/27

Well AMOS family it is nearly time for me to head to the other side of a healthier me. I am now counting the hours, minutes, seconds. I am trying to keep myself busy. Any last minute things I should know or do for Wednesday. Besides the normal standard things to do that were prescribed by the physician.

Hi Mary! I'm Linda Jones, and I live near Houston, Texas. I had lap RNY on July 8, 2003. Your surgery was on my 55th birthday! I'm sure you're still in the hospital at this point, so this message will be waiting for you when you feel like sitting at the computer again. 1) Follow your doc's instructions to the letter (I'm sure you will). I'm not usually a strict abider of doc's rules (I work in a medical school and see them while they're still students..lol), but I have been in this case. I realize now that they DO know what they're talking about when it comes to this type of surgery. 2) While you''ll be in pain for a week or so (in my case, it was 2 weeks of agony), it won't last forever. The more walking and doing the breath treatments, the faster the pain dissipates. Good luck in your journey towards better health and a brighter future. I'll walk with you on this road and look forward to hearing from you. Bye for now...Linda
