Hey there I'm back!

I actually got home Friday afternoon.  St. Vincent's is the best hospital I have ever seen, so clean, organized and friendly.  It was as pleasant an experience as surgery can be. Dr. Inman said my surgery went well and I am scheduled for my first follow up on May 12.  I am eating well and having no problems getting in fluids.  I can't really ask for anything more.  I get my drain removed tomorrow morning and then it's just a matter of regaining my energy and learning how to live with my surgery. Thanks for all your encouragement and for the warm spot on the bench!

     So glad all went well and that you are back!

Welcome back!  I hope you continue to heal well and start shedding those pounds soon. Best of luck!

Hi Vicki! Welcome back and glad to hear you are doing so well! Be sure and post some pics for us so we can see your progress which I'm sure with the DS will be very rapid!! Oh yeah, If you are feeling up to it there's a support group this Thursday at Suburban (6pm).

Where is this support group meeting on Thurdsday?  I  am in CIncinnati, OH and am looking for other support group meetings I can attend.

Hi Nuke, The Thursday group is at Suburban Hospital in Louisville.  There are acutally 2 meetings each month.  One at the Downtown Norton's Hospital and one at the Norton's Suburban Hospital.  If interested I'll get ya some more info!

I wish I would've had the DS. My surgeon didn't offer it though so I never even researched it until after I had RNY.. lol Good Luck!

honestly, I was headed for a RNY when I learned that it existed and only went to a seminar because I like to have all the information I can before I made my decision.  So far I am doing well, still feeling like I've been hit by a bus but eating and drinking is going good.  Thanks
