I've had the surgery

Hi All,

Thanks for all your warm wishes, they must have done the trick.  I'm home....Surgery was on Monday, as planned.  Off to sleep I went and when I woke up it was done.  Something incredible has been happening in my life and I am really grateful.  I awoke from surgery with no pain, some tightness, but I did not need any pain medication the entire time in the hospital.  Dr. Ellsmere also repaired a hernia, which I didn't even know I had... so I got 2 surgeries for the price of one LOL.  The nurses and staff at the VG were wonderful and very supportive.  I walked the halls like crazy.  Trying to get the fluids in is quite the challenge, but I find it a little easier if I walk after I sip. So far so good.  I'm glad to be home. I feel great and will spend the next few days getting my liquids in and setting up my routine for success.
Thanks again to everyone.

Glad to hear all went well. I think you are the first VSG on this board so i am so curious....be sure to keep up up to date with your progress!.

So wonderful to get your news and know you are doing well, I had no doubts.  I'm 2 weeks today with my VSG and feel great too.  Keep me posted on how you are doing over the next couple of weeks, maybe we could share some liquid ideas.
