Hello!

Hello everyone!  I just had Lap. Gastric Bypass on Tuesday April 15th 2008 at Carle Hospital with Dr. Oliphant.  So far so good.  I'm tired a lot (HELLO, just had major surgery!) but other then that, I'm shocked at how easy the recovery has been for me.  Today was my first day of blended foods and I was SO excited to have actual food!  LOL!   Any tips anyone can give me?

Welcome Stormy! You will find many nice people that are here to give encouragement and help as needed. We have different surgeries so I will let the RNY patients give you further tips. My tip is to follow whatever directives your doctor has given to you. Feel free to check in with the daily roll call. Have a great day!

Thanks Carol!
