Thanks all for your well wishes with my surgery! I am home and feeling like dirt... I will have to say this surgery was way worse for me than the RNY. The surgery was suppose to be around 20 minutes and ended up being much longer... I went in just after 9a and didnt wake up in recovery until 11. DrM said he had to fix some adhesions and I had a slight bowel obstruction.... (in addition to my acting up GB!). He said that GB wasnt too bad and that the pain I was feeling could be 50/50 between that and the adhesions. I am just glad its all over! He said I should notice a difference once I am healed and I am looking forward to getting back to my normal eating!!

At least it is over and you are home. Take care of yourself and if you need one of those magic pills to help for a few days take em. Annie

Get some rest,
