Well, good evening/morning to you all. I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you all how I am doing so far. By the way, I am on the internet on my awesome phone, they don't have internet in the room (that I'm aware of). Anyway, first off, thank you Tiffany for your post earlier. Second, surgery was really quick with no known complications. The Eagles "Take it Easy" was playing in the OR and before I knew it, I was waking up in Recovery. I came to pretty quickly and for the most part I have actually been really talkative and alert. I feel actually really great so far. I'm having very minimal stomach pain, and when the nurse Rick just came in to ask me what # on the pain scale I was, I said "0". He looked kind of schocked. I am having great urine output, I walked the floor 3 times, and so far I am tolerating ice chips well. So that is pretty much it for Day #1. I will write more tomorrow. Goodnight!

April, You are my hero.  I was in so much pain on Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10.  I am so glad that is not your experience.  Just remember that the best is yet to come.

April Congratulations to you loser! I'm so happy for you that things went so well. Your a trooper for sure.  Make sure you keep up that walking. The more you do the faster you will recover, even tho you sound like your not going to have much if any problems. Take care and sip sip sip.

Yipeeeee ya big LOSER!  April...finally you are on the rollercoaster of RNY.  No more waiting in line for you Sister.  Keep sipping, keep walking.  I was lucky, like you and felt great once the grogginess wore off.   (I had Rick as a nurse too.)  Take good care of yourself.  Congrats!  hugs, Lisa
