Home from the hospital

Hi everyone, I got discharged about noon today. Everything went fine with no complications. I have not had any problems with any food or drink and I can still drink milk. I did a lot of walking in the hospital and I think that makes a lot of differnce in how much pain you have. I got rid of a lot of gas. I have had very little pain. I hope those getting ready for surgery have as easy a time of it as I have had. Best Wishes, Judy

Congratulations Judy! Welcome to the loser's bench! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and I was the same as you. What a true blessing. Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Blessings, Diane

Hi Diane, Congratulations right back at you. Thank you for your warm wishes. It sure is nice to have such fine support as we do on this board. Best Wishes, Judy

Judy, I have been following your journey on Fuzz's message board. Glad to hear that everything went well for you. I am waiting on my stuff to be sent to insurance so I probably still have a while to wait. Will you be at the support group meeting next week? Would love to meet you! Hugs, Donna

Hi Donna, It does take a while to get your info submitted but I surely can not complain, some people have to wait well over a year. I submitted my initial information packet to Susan in November 2006 so my wait was pretty short. I do intend to go to the next support meeting and I would love to meet you also. I hope your turn comes soon and you have a smooth and easy time of it. Best Wishes, Judy

That's wonderful Judy! I'm so glad everything went smoothly. Take care of yourself and please keep us updated. Take care. ~Ellen

Hi Ellen, Your posts have been such an inspiration to me ever since I first started reading posts on this site. I didn't have such a long wait like you did, mine actually was very fast. I took your advice and walked and walked. My nurse said he had never seen anyone make so many laps or make them so fast. I am really feeling quite well this morning. Thanks for your warm wishes. Best Wishes Judy

Way to go, Judy! I'm happy things went so smoothly for you. Wishing you continued success, -- T.Rob

Hi Rob, Things have gone very smoothly for me right from the start. I hope your upcoming surgery goes just as smooth and your recovery is just as smooth and easy. Please be sure and post and let us all know how things go for you. Best Wishes, Judy

Congratulations on your smooth start to a healthier you. I wish you a smooth transition as you lose your weight. Hopefully, I'll be approved and able to join you soon. All the best, Barbara
