I'm home and doing as best as I can.. I have found my house is filled with non surgery friendly furniture....
Up several times in the night and trying to get this dang gas out...

Hey Susan, welcome to the loser's bench!!!! Everyday will get better and the furniture will become friendlier. Even that chair that you touch both sides of when you sit in it will start to give you more room every day.
I so wish I was able to go see you, but you were sure in my thoughts and prayers. Now it's time to get to work and follow your doctor's orders.
Keep us posted
the "other" susan
Isn't that gas JUST the worst?? My husband gave me a new nickname last week when I got my band. I am now affectionately known as FOGHORN!!!
At least I think it's affectionately.
Ok, it's eight days later and I've lost 17.5 lbs. as of this morning. I've been back in class since Monday, Thursday afternoon (yesterday) I took a hike with my co-workers and today I drove to Little Rock and had a VERY important job interview. (I want this job SO bad!!) I honestly can not believe how fast the pain goes away. I do still get a little breathless if I bend over or try to climb stairs too fast and I'm certainly not ready for any hikes over rough terrain.
Welcome back!! (Scoots over to make room for Susan on the loser's bench.)

Susan, I am so glad that things went well for you. I've been thinking about you. You'll have to let us know how your weight loss is going...I'm anxious to hear. Since I had to postpone my surgery until we get the results of the sleep study, I'm kinda ancy to see how others are doing. Take care honey.
