I am home and well too!!!

Hi everyone...wanted to thank a lot of you for your well wishes. I had my surgery on Thursday, Dec 4th...and got to come home this afternoon. I have to admit... I am feeling a TON better than I thought I was going to ...and i was able to walk *VERY SLOWLY* up my stairs to our upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms...so I am very pleased. Looking forward to settling in...and just getting used to my new stomach. It was odd today and yesterday when I started to drink water and crystal light. And today I took a few teaspoons of sugar free jello, after the nurse assured me that it was sugar free... Looking forward to just moving forward on the losing side!!!

Yeah! Congratulations and welcome home!! I am so glad to hear things went well and you are well on your way to healing and watching your body change! Isn't it great to be home?? Be well Cheryl

Welcome on board the loosing train.........glad to hear everything is going smoothly. Hope to hear about your progress in the future. Hugs from Tove

Welcome Home! I certainly know how you feel. Nothing like sleeping in your own bed - although I spent the first night on the couch's recliner -- sleeping flat hurt my belly. The next night I propped up pillows, and added one on my side, and was able to sleep wonderfully - on my side! Wishing you a speedy recovery. God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau

Welcome Home! And, welcome to the loosing side! Remember to walk walk walk and sip sip sip. Take care of yourself, rest and heal. Good luck to you!

I liked Lisa's answer "walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip" and maybe .....and a couple of fa- la-laa...because there IS no place like home. I was released yesterday and, as uncomfortable as I was, it was much nicer in my own bed. This is all new to me. I started the journey this past January and when it was time for the actual surgery date......I was SO surprised that at work, when the co-ordinator called me, I kept saying "OK, Holy Sh**, OK, Holy Sh**. Nice, Debbie. I will be thinking of you because misery loves company. But actually, I feel pretty darned good. The only part the doctor left out was that I would have some pain in one particular area. If I had expected it, I wouldn't have been so worried that something had gone wrong. Call your doctor for ANY reason so they can explain and reassure you. Take good care of yoursel. Debbie
