Lap RNY- 5 days post op and Ecstatic!!!!!!!

Hello fellow September members!!!!!! I had surgery on 9/5/06 and am doing GREAT! The usual emotional hills and ruts, but nothing bad or unmanageable at all. I've been laughing with my friend about all the food I keep seeing and wanting, but today I finally felt that dissapating. Laughter about it has helped tremendously. I came home from the hospital eraly Thursday afternoon and have been walking and shopping and everyday, non-lifting, activities ever since. I used very little pain medication while in the hospital because my pain was extremely manageable. Almost as easy as my c-section 6 years ago. Since coming home, I have had virtually no pain and only otc Tylenol from home due to a slight fever the first night. No fever since. I have been able to get all my fluids in since Thursday and am looking forward to moving to the full-liquids. I am sooooo happy and excited that I made this decision. It amazes me that a year ago I adamantly refused to even consider this surgery!!! This has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! Many Blessings to everyone this month!!!!!! I hope you all have as great an experience as I have!!!!!

So happy that you are home and doing well - and happy! I, too, was adamantly against the surgery, then changed my mind over time. Now I will have the surgery on Sept 20th - only 10 more days!!! It is nice to hear how things went for you. I am alittle nervous about the whole thing, but excited to begin my new life. Please keep updating on your progress. Good luck you LOSER!!!

Congrats on the upcoming surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee! I am sure it will go smoothly and you will have a great recovery! Looking forward to seeing you on the Losing side!!!!!!!
