Thank you everyone for the support and prayers..

I have skimmed over them.. I got home around 1 PM.. DH was here for about 40 minutes than his dad took him back to OKC to pick up his semi..  We opened up gifts, that was a rush.. LOL..  I have already taken a 3 hour nap and sipping, walking, sipping, walking.. Losers you know the drill..  My MIL is staying the night, thank goodness because I don't think I would be a very good mom right now..  The worst part of this whole surgery is the Gas in the body cavity.. I am a little tender in my mid section but if the gas would dissapear I know I would feel 100% better..

Thanks for all of the well wishes, Sherry thanks for coming to keep us company.. And thank you for updating everyone.. Thanks for keeping the bench warm, it feels good but  I know in time it will feel AWESOME!!!!!

Now back to sipping and walking..

Hugs,
Sheila

Sheila I am so glad that you got to come home! Welcome to the bench the gas does get better. Walk and sip I am still doing it even farther out. I feel like my water bottle is permenatly attached to my hand.

Congrats Sheila!! What a great Christmas present, and just imagine Christmas next year!! Good Luck and remember, get past the 1st week, and it's smooth sailing!!

Congrats Sheila on getting home ok.  Welcome to the bench.  The body cavity gas is the worst part I had.  Had a hard time determining if I was full, hungry, sick, or what.  It lasted about 6 days for me, then when it lifted, I felt 200% better.  Michael

Hi Sheila!  I'm so glad you're home and doing well.  I missed seeing you in Edmond, but got sent home a day earlier than we'd anticipated.  That was fine with me though!  I like being at home in my own bed.  :)  I guess I didn't have a problem with the gas, I know my neice had horrible pain when she woke up from it, but I was blessed.  I am sore though.  I've had other laproscopic (sp?) surgeries that didn't cause me the pain that this one has, but I didn't have as many incisions in them either.  I don't care, I'd do it all again, as I'm sure you would too.  Take care of yourself, walk and sip!  That's my mantra now!  LOL

Hugs,
Marsha

I knew what to expect because I'd had my gall bladder out a few years before-but that gas is kind of a rude, cruel joke for someone having WLS....I mean you go through all this hoopla, then the pre surgery jitters, and you wake up with a huge, bloated BELLY.....OH, the irony.

YEA Sheila! I am glad you made it through the process and are sitting on that bench. I go on Jan. 7.

You sound like you are doing great! Keep it going girl!
