Hello all. I am awake enough to post this morning. I went into surgery about 10:30 am yesterday and got out after noon. I am a quit bit of pain this morning. I had major gas pain in my upper right shoulder since yesterday which makes it kinda hard to breath. As long as I stay on my pain medicine, I can't really feel it. I feel it though when it wares off, boy or boy do I feel it...lol. But I will make it. It's weird, I am in more pain from this than my bypass surgery...lol. I have 4 small incisions. 3 on my right side of my tunny and one inside my belly button. I have some oozing in my belly button, but that has pretty much stopped. The Dr. said I did just fine. I came home last night and weighed myself. About crapped my pants!! It said I went from 189 to 199!! I am still that this morning. But that is from all the fluid and gas. I am keeping food down now also. But the only things I have eaten are graham crackers and bananas. I will try more solid food tomorrow. Thank you all for your support and please do not hesitate to give me a call if you wish. I would LOVE to hear from any of you! My home phone number is 717-691-1334. I will be home the rest of the week. Erin
