Came Home from the Hospital Today
I am now on the losers side. Woooohoooooo Thank goodness. My Open GBS with a gallbladder removal went fine. The only issue they had was with my liver, I guess it was abnormally big. I kept them on their toes I guess. I was up and walking late monday night. Tuesday I felt like I wa**** by a truck about 50 times but the nurses did warn me that would happen. I never would have though****er and crytal light would have tasted so awesome. The ensure seems to take me forever to get down but hopefully I will find the right protein shakes that suite me. I will update my profile when I am feeling a little better with all the details. I just took my meds so I am not very bright eyed. Thank you for all your well wishes. It was very nice to see you Lisa C. and it was so nice of you to call me, Kathy. Question for all you Open RNY's out there, How long did your incision hurt for? That is the worst thing. It is killing me but they all say it looks great. Please let me know. I am so happy to be home. Bye for now.

Julie,
Welcome BACK!!!! . We are sooo glad to have you back where you belong. You are doing well girl friend. The pain from the insicion will get better each day, just take it slow and easy. Follow your doctor's plan and things will change on a daily basis. You are over the hump and on the losing side. Now the work begins. . Hope to see you on Sept. 11th.

Hi Julie!
Welcome home! and Congratulations on being an official "loser"
My incision hurt for about a week, everyday as it is healing it will get better and feel better. The meds really helped so make sure you use them if need be! It feels alot better as well once you get the stitches out. I was 10 days post op when I got mine out!
Take care, God Bless and best wishes on your new journey!
