Hi Illinois Friends,

I made it through surgery with no problems!  The surgeon told my family that the procedure was textbook and just perfect!  He fixed my hiatal hernia and a few adhesions as well as the RnY. 

I walked once yesterday, and have been up walking three times today.  I've been using my incentive spirometer like crazy, but my oxygen levels are still a bit low.

Thank you so much for all your good wishes and prayers.  It's wonderful to have so much support on this journey!

How great to see you posting!  Congratulations on your successful surgery!  I am so thankful that everything went so well  That is always a relief.  The walking is good to help prevent blood clots and to help get that @($%* gas out of there!  Hope you continue to improve rapidly.
