11/2/04 surgery- back from the hospital

Hello everyone... Just wanted to let all of the November surgeries know that I had my surgery last tuesday, left the hospital on friday and I'm home and doing well! I have to tell you all that things went so well that I don't even feel like this has really happened! I mean, I am on pain medication but an hour after surgery, I was walking the halls! I think the most important thing to do is to walk and take deep breaths to clear your lungs. Also, the doctor told me that I could start eating pureed foods but I've decided to take it slower and stick with my shakes, water and surar free pops. The other key is to rest. Take naps! I went out today and bought a scale......I've lost 10 pounds already! I wish you all luck!! Take care, Megan B

This is wonderful news. Take it easy - walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip. Shanon

thats good news. i'm going in tomorrow and cant wait to get it done. its good to hear your surgery was uneventful. speedy recovery!!! maria
