Home and feeling Great!

Hello friends- I am just a few days post op, and feel great. My husband is sitting on me trying to keep me down, and I know that I should take advantage of this time so I don't go backwards, but I thought it would be so much worse. I think the keys to success were keeping my pain managed and insisting on the antinausea shot every four hours. It got me off to a good start. I don't even feel the band, so the danger is going to be not eating. Liquids are going down good, and I have had no dumping. Jennifer, whom I met on this website, and I were in rooms side by side. It was great going through it with someone. We left our rooms the first night with our IV stands and announced to the staff that we were off to run a 5k. They laughed at us and complimented how good we were doing. I can't stress enough how important it is to get up and walking, and how much better we felt each time we did, even if it was just to get to each others room. Thanks for all of your support out there, it has really made the difference! Love ya, Laura l.

Laura, Congratulations on an uneventful surgery. Welcome to the losing side. I know how you feel, I have to keep reminding myself that I just has major surgery not even 3 weeks ago & to slow down. It's hard when you feel good, but remember to take time to rest. Keep up the great work. Tammy

Laura, that is so awesome. I too just had surgery on August 31 and home and feeling great too. I do have some pain but hey, I know it could be alot worse. Glad all is well. Heal and then do the 5k. Bsnyder in toledo ohio
