Hi everyone!!!! I'm officially on the loser's bench. I'm a little sore on the left side, but other than that I'm feeling fine. Some gas pain, but DH is going to fill my prescriptions and get the Gas X strips so that should be short lived. I'm doing my drinking and walking so that helps to relieve it somewhat. Dr. Broussard said that I did great and was a poster child. He is truly great and really funny. I would recommend him to anyone. Rita all of my nurses and respiratory therapists were very good to me. They all came in saying oh your Rita's friend. That really made me feel special. Thank you. I was down eight pounds further that Dr. B wanted me to be when I had surgery yesterday. I was so excited about that. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'm going to go rest and will talk to you later.

Surgery date: March 3, 2008

Weight lost since surgery: 40 pounds
Total lost pre and post op: 68 pounds
Weight lost from my highest: 82 pounds

Congratulations and welcome to the loser's bench. Rest, walk and sip. I agree that the walking is the best rememdy to getting the GAS to move on out. As others have said, let it fly whenever the need arises! You will feel so much better! Happy recovery.

When God Makes a Promise, It remains forever true. When your disillusioned and every hope is blighted, Recall the promises of God and your faith will be relighted.

Thank you Deb. I'm really glad I did this. Hope your walk goes well on Sunday. I don't think I will be walking in the Red Bud Walk in April. DH and I will need to use the registration money for a trip to a political event in Tulsa in May.

We'll walk sometime I'm sure. I think I'll ride my bike in the redbud then.

Hi Wynotha, I've been thinking about you and wondered how you came thru the surgery. What time did they take you in and how long did it last? Were you in recovery very long? I'm so glad you posted to let us know you were okay. Looking forward to hearing about your post-surgery experiences and to getting on that bench with you soon!
