well got back last saturday. Surgery went great and im healing very well, but the incision is itching like crazy. They ended up doing open which was no big deal, doctor said something about my body type that he preferred to do it that way. Its like a 1 foot incision from the top of my belly bottom to the bottom of my rib cage. it doesnt actually look as bad as it sounds. that first week has really sucked mainly because im on clear liquids and my family made me stay at my grandparents whom run a restaurant with every food imaginable. I think that was more torture staying there. cant wait till i can start pureeing some food. Everything seems to be going pretty good right now. I'll post and tell ya how im doing in couple months T.J.

Travis, I am so happy that you updated us on your surgery. I have been wondering how you were doing. Stay strong and dont let grandpa and grandmas cooking make you stray. God Bless, Nancy

Congrats!!!! Glad to hear all is well! A lot of my friends had open, and there isn't much difference....just a longer scar....we all healed about the same really! Take Care of yourself, and keep us updated! Jesi

It's great to hear that everything is going good for you. My surgery was also open, I had 40-some staples. The scar is slowly fading. The first few weeks might seem like hell being on liquids and purees, but now being 6 months out it is all worth it. Everyday gets better and better. E-mail me if you ever need a word of encouragement. Good Luck!!
