Home again!

I am home from St. Francis having had my hiatal hernia repaired. It required  getting 3 stitches. The good news is, my band had not slipped and my pouch had not dilated , as was thought! As usual, Dr. Peters was wonderful and explained everything to me in great detail. I am on liquids for the next few weeks, but that is not a problem. I have lots of protein powders to help me make it through. My band is my friend. We have a good relationship! LOL Presently, Lortab is my friend too! ha-ha In all seriousness, I am grateful that all was repaired and I am on the road to recovery (and more weight loss to boot :-))

Carla, I'm sorry to hear you were having problems!  I am glad the band and pouch are fine and now the hernia is repaired.  Did the symptoms come up suddenly or was it something that was gradual?  Whatever, I am glad you are on the road to recovery!    Feel better soon!

Sorry to hear that you been sick again Carla. Gosh what ups and downs on this road to a Healthier life. Hope to see you at next months meeting since I am feeling better. Take care.........Sharon

Welcome home.  I glad things went well.  We should get together and take our "happy pills" and watch the world go by.   Take care, Ellen

Hey Carla,    Glad to hear that everything was ok with the band and the hernia got fixed....Take advantage of the liquid phase....See you next meeting...Dave

Hey Mrs Carla I was away, unsuccessfully trying to get a tan. I see you went to the hospital to have your problem attended to. I hope everything goes as plans and you don't have anymore issues with your band. With everything good comes something not so good :-(. Hang there. So were you cheesing all over the operating room, with that smile?. I bet they used some sort of gadget and propped your mouth open and turned the lights off and used your smile for the light in the room :-). Seriously,  Get well soon

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I am getting itchy and am finding it hard to just relax. It is not in my nature to do so. I am too hyper. Now Leonard, you must have been there huh? Because that is exactly what happened! WA  Seriously though, as a matter of fact , Dr Wynn asked me why I was smiling. I told her that I ALWAYS smile. My husband corrected me and said, "not always!" lol I wasn't smiling when it took the nurse a year and a day to discharge me, trust me. lol Thanks again, everyone. The recovery is going very well :-)

Who are you calling Wide? Excuse me I am working on it thank you very much

Huh? I didn't say that!  You're nuts! Go and work on that tan! LOL
