i'm home safe and sound

Hey everyone,

I'm home and all is well. The surgery went well. They found some scar tissue on my pancreas which was a surprise. Otherwise it went perfect. No leaks and I am tollerating water very well. Will try a protein shake in the morning.

Thanks for all the well wishes and cards. They certainly brightened my day. I also loved my visitors. I'm quite comfortable and am looking forward to a good nights sleep. Slept like crap at the hospital.

I'll update more tomorrow. Am pooped and going to bed.

Yay! So glad everything went well for you, welcome to the losers bench!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!  Good to have you back and on the loser's bench!!! Glad to hear all went well and I know what you mean about not being able to get sleep in the hospital...

So glad you are home and comfortable. Good luck with the protein shake in the morning...should go well if you are tolerating water good.
Sleep well

Lisa, that is awesome!  Be sure when you are up to it to change your "Hoping to have surgery" to "Post Op"   And also put your Surgery date!  I believe it is on the My Account tab at the very top of the website page.

welcome to the loser bench it is going to so great to be a loser.. good luck with your journey just take your time and rest for the first few weeks dont try to do to much.. Barb

I'm so pleased for you Lisa, that things went so well. Can't wait to follow your progress!

I know you will be tired the first few days home, but make sure to keep us posted on how you are doing! 

LIsa, Congratulations  I'm so happy all went well for you.  Now the weight drops and you go shopping for new clothes (smaller and smaller) how exciting is that?  I always sleep like crap and love hospitals, but like to be near the nurses station so I can see all the activities.  Last year when I had my Hystorectomy they put me on the kids floor, now that! was annoying, freakin screaming kids all night. and one guy who had the flu and was the loudest puker I've ever heard.  ok, forget it. I changed my mind, I dont' like hospitals, I forgot???  GOod luck Lisa, keep us posted..  Cheryl

Lisa,  Glad to hear everything went well.  Keep us updated on your progress!
