Hey everyone. I had my surgery yesterday and just got home! It all went well, with no issues or complications to report. It was a weird but remarkable experience. I DO remember when I was lying on the table chatting with the operation staff, the dopeman said his famous phrase everyone should know or heard about and it felt like I took some cocaine or something. I NEVER felt like that before. I asked him "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT DUDE?" He laughed and said that he gave me a little taste of it. Well I think he lied cause like 20 seconds later, I remember waking up in recovery. LOL My pain is minimal, I have no gas pain or anything that I know of, which is weird but whenver I swallow fluids I get a tightness in my belly. I really don't like it. I guess it's the "full" alarm. LOL It didn't take long to get home but I took to pain pills as a precaution. It's a long ride home from Rockville to Southern Maryland on the beltway! But I am home safe now, I gave myself a shot of Lovenox and got 2 pain pills out on my nightstand in standby. By the way, my 24 hour hospital stay was really.....something. My neck is stiff from sleeping so much and I had this realy bothersome neighbor who complained and *****ed about EVERYTHING. But my poor wife and kid slept in the chair and in the truck. They didn't want to leave me. Ok, I think I'm gonna retire. Thanks for all the support everyone and I'll log on tomorow and let you know how i am doing. Later fellow losers!!

So glad you made it to the Loser's Bench! I'm suprised you are taking pain pills. I was sent home with a nasty tasting pain liquid. I thinkt hey do that so we don't take it. LOL Keep sipping and walking!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the loser's bench!!!  Rest and take care of yourself and drink, drink, drink all that you can (I thought that was the hardest part when I got home)  Take care Stephanie

Hey Mike, Here's to a very speedy recovery! Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

Thanks everyone. I think sipping is the somewhat hard part. I never think about it. I know it is important so I will keep it on my mind.

Welcome Home, Mike!!!  I'm so glad everything went well, with the exception of the roommate from hell!! Just walk, rest, sip, repeat frequently, especially the sipping!!!  Soon, all of this will be a memory and you'll be flying along with the rest of us!! Take care, Tia
