Hey Bob,
I got an email last night from her husband Tom, she is coming home this afternoon and she is doing great. They took off 17lbs of skin for her. She is going to be so thrilled. She thought only 8 to 10lbs.
She is groggy and taking her pain meds but doing great. Tom is playing Mr. Mom for the next couple of weeks. I will let her know everyone has been asking for her.
She will probably post when she is up to it.
Take care sweetie and have a great day.
Hugs

Hey Bob!
I got home late Weds. night! Thank you for thinking of me! WOW, it is painful...I had open wls and it is far worse then that....and I am very tolerant to pain. I am taking my perocet every 3 hours as he wrote on the script. I hope you will have someone to help take care of you for the first week or so.....I can't even pull up my underwear....LOL or wipe....so thank god for my hubby....he gets to do dirty work....aslo ....if you could get one of those toilet seat raisers and also a walker ...yess walker....LOL it will help you get up easier and be less painful. I am in the recliner during the day cause your butt starts to get sore...with pillows under the crease of my knee and one behind my head and a pillow under each arm....we have to try and stay in a flexed position. At night...I am in bed which is much more comfy with lots of pillows behind me and around me and under my legs. You know it may be painful now...but I just keep looking ahead....I have bandages on and all but oh my god...you can already tell the difference...it is soooooo amazing....I still can not beleive the dr took off 17.5 pounds of fat and skin from me. Also, make sure yoru drains are draining..sometimes you may get a little clot and have too try and help it through by pushing tube.....hmmmmm please if u have anymore questions do not hesitate to ask......my email is [email protected] if u email me we can exchange numbers! OK, gotta run and take another painkiller.....it will all be over for you before you know it and I do feel better then I did yesterday...each day will get better. Talk to you soon!
Love,
MaryJo
