I'm home & doing well - Thanks for your well wishes!

Hello MN friends,

I had my RNY yesterday at Abbott and came home today around 2:00 p.m. and so far so good!
 
I want to say a special thanks to the the south of the River Coffee group gang.  I was fortunate to meet this wonderful group of people a few months ago and the support, feedback and advice I've received has been great.  Nicole and Troy thanks for your visit and support yesterday (Nicole works at Abbott so I had some inside help and support & it was wonderful) and for posting for me.  Melissa it's been great to have someone to bounce ideas off of since we're only a month or so apart and Kevin I look forward to following your journey as well as the three of us have very close surgery dates (just think Monday is only a few days away).

My biggest fear was the surgery it self.  For all of you long timers out there you might think that's silly as there is so much more to come.  Now that I'm home and showered I'm ready and excited to face the road ahead.  I was walking the halls at Abbott at 1:30 a.m. last night thinking, I can't believe I did this.  Not in a regret so of way just in a WOW.  I started this process on October 21 and had surgery on December 10 (although had been half thinking about it for 10 years).

Thanks as well to all of you on the MN OH board as well for your support and well wishes, what an awesome group!

This might have been a better journal post but oh well I'm putting it up here!

I can't wait to see everyone next week for coffee in Burnsville.

Thanks again!

Kristy

I'm so happy for you Kristy!!  Welcome to the 'flip side', the losers bench!!! 

It's so good to know you're home & doing good & have started the recovery process.

I can't wait to exchange surgery/recovery stories when I see you at coffee next week (if not before). 

Be sure to let me know if you need anything...you're really not that far away! 

Talk to you soon!!!

Congrats Kristy!  You're right....I remember just being worried about surgery itself and getting through that first.  Now, you can get rid of that worry and concentrate on the future.....one day or hour or sip at a time.....whatever works for you.  Hope to see you soon.

Glad your surgery went well, you're home and doing good.  Congratulations!!  Hopefully I'll be at next week's coffee and can hear how your first week went.

So glad everything went well Kristy!! Its a fabulous journey and only the beginning of your WOWs!!! See ya at coffee soon!!

Welcome Home, Loser!

Now you can get on with your life & post about all your WOW moments because that's when life really gets fun!!

Kristy-

Congratulations... You are going to do SO great! 

Can't wait to see you after the holidays.. Things are nuts for the next few weeks so I doubt I will make it to coffee... Feel free to send a note if you have any questions or need anything.

Welcome to the losers bench!

Congratulations! 

I have not been able to make as many coffees south of the river as of late; but plan on making more after the first of year.

Looking forward to getting to know you better and seeing you shrink !!
