I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE!!! YIPPEE!!!!!

Thank you Mary.  I am walking around in the house right now and hopefully will graduate to outside next week....

So glad to hear everything went well for you!!!!  I am going for my surgery on monday and it is reassuring to hear that you are doing well. 

Take care of yourself and keep us posted on how you are doing.

 Hello Julie:

It was much easier than I thought it would be. Pain is manageable and I am up and about for a few hours at a time.  I am on the stage ll diet and have started my vitamins.  Everything is going really well.  

It is such and exciting time.  I have to pinch myself from time to time!

Good luck Julie.  I will be thinking of you. 

Congrats and glad to hear your doing so well!  Start with walking...take it easy and don't push yourself too soon.

Glad to hear your ring was not a problem...i was wondering about that :)

 Thank you Kris.  I am taking it slow while still making sure I walk enough.  I am reading my body and so far so good.

Congratulations Cathy! I'm so happy everything went so smoothly! Sounds like you're doing terrific and before you know it that ring will be slipping off those skinny fingers! 

Hi Cathy,

So glad everything went so well.  Now all you have to concentrate on is getting healthy!!  Remember everything everyone else has said, and just don't rush.  What you can't get done today, can get done tomorrow or the next day.  Concentrate on you.  Welcome to the other side....It is great here.
