So glad to hear things went well.  I was thinking you might be still in when I was wheeled up on Wednesday but I think I took your slot in room 217 with my roomie John who'd been there since Monday and finally got sprung late Thursday night.

 

One thing I learned is that Ottawa only has 4 beds for WLS patients, so max 12 surgeries per week and generally less because more people need their beds longer than others.

You did get my bed :) I escaped early because my heart was behaving. Congratulations on surgery. Weren't the nurses incredible? I believe you would have had Natasha your first night, she helped me on my first night as well and I loved her.

I am 10 days out - Dr Neville too, was great!

I too had incredible pain, meant two trips back to the ER this past week. Seem to be on the mend now.

congrats :)

Glad you are on the mend. The first bit can be physically hard, then I guess you move on to the mental challenge of WLS.
