Had surgery 22 hours agp

I am glad that you are feeling better.  I am not a diabetic and I feel very fortunate that I am not.  It is bad enought having high blood pressure and sleep apnea.  I am really looking forward to (hopefully) being rid of those.
I am hoping that I get it done laproscopicly.  What was the reason you had it done "open"?  How long is your recovery period?  I hate morphine and will get off of that ASAP if they put me on it at all.  Keep me informed with everything.  I can't wait to hear that you show no signs of diabetes!

I am so lucky to not had had to deal with high blood pressure or sleep apnea yet.  Just type II diabetes.  I'd had a lot of other medical problems -- bad infections and stuff.  In the past two years I have had a total hysterrectomy, appendectomy, gall bladder, colon leak, panniculectomy (my pannus had become infected).  Because of all of the infections I had to have an open procedure because of all of the adhesions and scar tissue.  I'm feeling pretty good though.  I don't feel like anything is out of order.  I am VERY tired though.  It's a bummer thinking about doing this during Xmas time, but if the way I feel today is any indication, I have no desire or interst in food anyway.  Please excuse the crazy typing (morphine)...

Geez, it sounds like you went through a lot.  Other than what I mentioned, I have been really healthy.  I have gotten very lazy due to my weight.  I have a desk job and I got very sedintary and fatter.  ugh.  I hope you heal quickly with out any problems.  I will let you rest and not ask too many questions until you are up to it.  Get some rest....

Congrats on making it to the other side! The best is yet to come. Its now time for you to update your signature! :)
