I know! I am sure she will be off  during your stay. They are a bunch of kind souls there no need to worry!

Hey Sunny, 

Isn't Dr Neville lovely? I also adore Aspen, the nurse practioner and really the whole team is so good. I had a similarly great experience with the nursing staff except for one or two but then I was in over the weekend. I had a couple of veritable Florence Nightingales too. 

I am so delighted for you and look forward to watching you shrink!

Yes I totally agree with you on all points. I  get to meet Aspen on a Friday for my one week check up.

Jo so happy for you! Sounds like you sailed through this! Wicked!! And I can't believe how much you peed, so awesome!! Keep up the sipping and walking and hoping everything is smooth from here on out.

So glad everything went so well.

All the best,

Thank you for this! I will be having surgery at OWMC on February 3 and I really love to hear about others' accounts of how it all happens. It sounds like you did extremely well and I am glad you're home and recovering. (Wow, I hope I can 'pee like a rock star' like you when I get out!)

... on another note, thanks for the reminder; I have to call Nurse Aspen today to discuss something about starting Opti so I'd better get right on that. It had slipped my mind!

Welcome to the bench! One day at a time, and you'll do great!
