Had surgery 3 days ago and home and happy now! Thank You!!!

I want to thank everyone for their encouragement and support!  I went into Surgery on Tuesday at 8:00 with Dr. H and was in my room by 11:00!  My wonderful best friend stayed with me the entire time and my sister took care of my two lil ones!  My hospital stay was normal!  I was able to walk down to the cafeteria the first day and continued to walk a lot through out my stay.  I ran a little temp 100.8 but the Dr. did not seem to concerned just reminded me to stay on my breathing thing.  The things that bothered me the most my dry mouth and the catheter!  I want to thank everyone who offered their advice and encouragement and look forward to the road ahead! 

Congrats Christa!! I am so happy things went perfect for you. Even the first day you were in good spirits. You made it look easy and that encourages us pre-ops =0)

Congratulations! Glad everything went well.
For all of you pre-ops, mine also went without a hitch and at not quite two weeks out am doing fantastic.

congrats...and guess what...it gets even better.... I am only 7 days ut and am already down 12 pounds and feeling great.... all I can tell is i have no appetite and steri strips all over my belly... Welcome to the loosers bench..!

Congrats. Glad to hear you are home.

Congrats!  i had a great hospital experience and no problems since.  keep up the walking... and just a piece of advice that i wish someone had told me - if you can avoid pushing the shopping cart/carriage/buggy (depending on where you live) in the supermarket or walmart or whereever, then skip it.  i've been doing a lot of indoor walking in stores and pushing the cart is just more exertion than i can take.  otherwise, walk your butt off!
