It was a SUCCESS!!!!!!

HI there everyone I just wanted to share that I had my Gastric bypass on 11/30 and was discharged on Sunday. I don't know how to explain it but I am feeling incredible. I have stamina, hardly and pain and feel like I haven't felt in years.... I thank my lord god and Savior for laying his hands on me and protecting me during this procedure and recoup period. I'm on a high that can't compare! I want to thank each and everyone of you who kept me in your thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all! Barbi Naples FL

Congratulations and welcome to the losers bench I'm so happy to see you are doing well! It's amazing what God can do in our lives when we just simply trust Him!!!! May God bless you and keep you happy and healthy now as you start this incredible journey!! Much Love, Carol V

Barbi I too rejoice that you felt God's presence and peace throughout your surgery!!!! Praise God indeed that you are feeling great! Now, don't lift things over 15 lbs for at least a month, rest because your body needs you to do that, and walk...more each day so that in a month you are up to a mile! Get that protein in, and don't worry if you drink it and not eat it. Drinking gets in the fluids and protein. Give your body time to adjust to getting rid of anesthesia....and take your pain medicine if you need it. So now that I've given you a lecture, I am glad to move over for you on the losers bench!!! I pray your recovery will continue to go well, and each day you will learn more and more in this amazing journey. My profile may have some helpful hints on it for post op, check it out. hugs and blessings, Tami

Barbi, Congrats and Welcome to the Losing Side! Vickie J.

Hi Barbi Congrats to you on your surgery. Its almost like being given a second chance at life. Once you see those unwanted lbs coming off you still won't beleive its happening. Have a good recovery from surgery and I know you feel good but make sure you get plenty of rest. Take Care Priscilla
