I am home!

Welcome home, Terri! So glad to hear everything went relatively well, especially after the pain meds. I really appreciate the informative post. It helps me to imagine what it will be like for me when I finally have my surgery, and it takes some of the scariness away. So, thanks for your post, and I'm glad you're doing well. Wendy

No problem Wendy, I am glad it helped you. You will have a lot of preparation with Dr Aranow's team. Before you go to surgery, there is a pre-op class put on by the head nurses on the bariatric floor that was wonderful. They walk you through every step of the process on the day of surgery until you walk out the door. I felt very prepared and confident before the surgery and very comfortable with everything that happened afterward in the hospital. Terri

welcome home .i,m s glad to hear that all went fine.sorry about the meds not workin.get wel soon ...tom

Hi Terri I am glad you are home and hugs from your kids. It is better to be home with your family than staying hospital. Now the surgery is over! Your life just Begun ! SMILE! I am looking forward to see you again later and maybe we will go to Peter's store with pur kids. Take care and enjoy being pamper at home from your family and friends. HUGS Kathy K

thanks Kathy, I haven't seen my kids yet though. My sister, who has been so supportive through this whole thing, not only came down from VT to be with my kids for the 1st couple of days so Jack could be at the hospital, but she took them back to VT with her for a few days so I could get back into the swing of things at home. It was more than I ever expected and made things very easy for me. I can't wait to see the girls tomorrow though. I would love to go to Peter's store with you and the kids that would be fun! You can come to visit me too! Terri

Your sister is a sweetie! Bet you miss your kids tho! Joanie

Congratulations Terri Welcome back and I am sooooo glad that everything went relatively well for you. Sounds like you are up and hit the ground running . Remember that you will have good days and bad days for a while but.........the good definitely feels sooooo good!!! Linda

Thanks Linda, I had my first rough night of sleeping. The bed is not my friend right now. I did much better in the easy chair and ottoman. Looking forward to more good days than bad. terri

Terri, I found the recliner to be more comfortable too. And you are right..each day gets better and better. Hang in there! Hugs, Joanie

Terri! Congratulations and welcome to the Melting Side! You are doing great! I agree, that shower was the BEST! Ann 314/257/150
