Home and doing well

Hello all!! I could not possibly respond to everyone who sent me well wishes, thoughts, and prayers after my RNY was changed to lap band...Thank you all so very much. I was in tears off and on for those painful hours and ya'll made me feel a whole lot better. Now...I am home. I actually got home on the 21st after spending about 36 hours in the hospital. I met some wonderful women who I hope will be posting here very soon! HI Phyllis and Arlene!!! The band is a bit more painful then I thought it would be. I guess I thought it would be a breeze compared to bypass...wrong!! LOL My muscles around the port are sooo sore that getting up and down out of bed and chairs is very hard. I will tell you all...it gets better everyday. I am able to do more and just plain wake up feeling better each day. Down to the nitty gritty!!! I have also lost more weight than I thought possible!!! I went into all of this with guarded hopes...I am thrilled!!! I hope you all are recovering, doing well, and getting back to a routine!! I can't wait to catch up with the message board! Thanks again everyone!! Donna 16Sept...273lbs 25Sept...247lbs
