I'm Home!!!

I got home late last night but the point is I am home. I am almost done with my shake, then it's 10 minutes of walking then nap time after that. My doc came around as the were doing a weigh on me and he said don't even weigh for about 30 days. Just feel and watch the weight come off. I had a few moments when I was ready to give up. Like when the 4th person couldn't find a place to put in my IV line and we had to discuss a central line (Big fear of mine). Finally the 6th person (my surgeon) was able to get one in after I was out. Pain was tolerable once I got off the morphine. I never hit the pump enough to get enough of the drug in my system. That's about it. Later all. Oh yeah, I will post a pic that the DH took the day after of me crashed in the chair. What a sweetheart?

Welcome home and congratulations!

GREAT NEWS!!! It can be a tough start, but it really DOES get EASIER! As you adjust to the post surgical process, remember why you did it in the first place and that you have the support of those who went before you. Utilize the support group as much as possible and let them help you through it.
Take care and best wishes!

Welcome Home!!!!!!  I'll call you soon and we can have a nice chat. I'm glad all went well

Kathy,
I'm glad your surgery went well except for the pincushion part.  You will be a better person than I if you can stay off the scale for 30 days.  Can't wait to here your first weight loss report.
Congratulations.
Bev

hi kathy! glad you made it home..im jealous you had no pain lol every day will get better, be good marlena

Oh no, I had pain. I couldn't get it under control with the morphine. As soon as we went to the pills I was golden. I got it under control then.

i forgot to ask you, did you get our e-cards in the hospital ?

And I forgot to tell you I did. I used the same post for 3 boards so I forgot to get specific for this one. Thanks for passing my name along Marlena.  It made my hubby see how much I was loved here.

glad you are home safe and sound....have been watching the board to be sure all wet well!! I will look forward to reading as you go.... blessings, Jennifer
