Margie came to see me this morning and said everything went great with surgery. Dr. Hornbostel said he was so pleased of how things went, God has truly blessed me with such pray warriors and a great Dr. and Staff . Margie said this morning that I could prolly come home today, I was like wow, awesome. When Dr. H came by this afternoon he said everything looked good and said I could go home since I did so well so were home Im pretty tired and a bit sore right now but I havnt had any pain meds since about 2am last night, it's amazing. Im just so amazed of how well I feel, I am havin trouble remembering to drink my water and juice, i'll get used to it tho. Before surgery I was taking 9 pills, now Im down to only one pill. My blood pressure hasnt been this good in years, even with taking meds and my sugar has been below 150 since surgery, im just soooo amazed its unreal lol. Im well on my way to the losing side of this deal I was 515lbs in Feburary when I started my final hunt for a surgeon. I was 482lbs at my consult with Dr. Hornbostel and going into surgery I was 438lbs woot woot. I was also treated so nice at Bothwell, the staff there was just terrific. Only complaint I have is the rooms were a bit small and the bathrooms even smaller lol But the staff was great. Colette thank YOU so much for stopping by on tuesday, it was great getting to meet you and finally putting a live body lol to the posts. My wife and I so enjoyed your visit, thank you so much. Huera it was sooooooo great getting to meet ya tuesday evening. My wife was disaapointed she missed ya but we'll be up this tuesday after my one week appt to check in on ya. My appt is at 2pm so I hope your awake enough to say hi lol. Julie it was so great seeing you today, my wife and I so enjoyed your visit. I hope your grand daughter is alight. Im sure glad you stopped by when ya did, we were able to leave the hospital about 2:30pm this afternoon. I can't thank each and every one of enough for all your prayers and support, this missouri board is totally the best board in all of OH Thank again so much. Im pretty tired so Im gonna go find a spot to perch on and get some rest lol. Oh and do keep Melissa in your prayers, She's gotta come out of this with flying colors. She's come to far to have such set backs. I'll for sure be prayin for her before I go off to sleep. Much Love and Hugs to all, Andrew

Andrew: Congrats on your surgery! You are now officially on the loser's bench! I'm amazed that you were able to go home so quickly! Praise the Lord! Will continue to lift you up in prayer for a quick recovery. Please keep us informed on your weight loss. We are all praying for Melissa. Although I've never met Melissa I know she is such a great person from her posts. Debbie D.

Welcome home Andrew! Glad you are doing so well. I had a good experience at Bothwell also when I had my gall bladder surgery. Get lots of rest and get your water in! I'm so happy for you, Hugs, Marilyn

Hi Andrew, Just one Question??? Did you get any splinters sliding on that bench so fast!!!! I am so happy for you. I wish I could have stayed longer. My granddaughter is doing better. Took her to ER yesterday and to Dr. today. Her antibiotic was tearing her colon up. So we hopefully have her on the right track now. She got to go back to school.Thanks for asking. Tell your wife I said hello. JULIA
