Home from Surgery

I just came home from Surgery, done 1/09/07 by Dr. DeMaria with Duke Weight Loss Surgery Center. I have had no nausea or vomiting. The shakes are going down pretty easy so far. I am sipping slowly and allowing the beverages to either cool down or warm up to room temperature which helps alot when going down. Drank one this morning which was on the cool side and boy did that hurt going down. I am doing great so far. I am so glad to finally be on this journey with you guys. Amanda Stone-Secrest

Congratulations! I'm glad things are going well for you and hope they continue the whole way through!

Congratulations , Glad that you are home and doing well from the surgery !!!! I know that everything will go so GREAT for you !!! Hopefully I will be on the losing side with you soon. I should be hearing back from DUKE WEIGHT LOSS soon. Glad to hear that you are doing so good !!!!

Good Luck, I hope it isn't a long process for you. Mine took about 10 weeks total from first appt to now. Amanda

Thank you so much. I am looking forward to going shopping later this year for a new wardrobe and getting rid of the stretch pants and long shirts. Amanda

Congrats! Keep up the great work! I'm about 6 weeks out and things get better every day. Isn't it great to know that all the waiting is behind you and you are now on your way! Have a great weekend

Congratulations I am looking forward to getting to the 3 week follow up so I could move to the next foods which I will probably think I stepped into heaven when I start being able to initiate new foods Amanda
