Monday was Kathleen's Surgery (KATCU2) - she's home!

Kathleen is having her surgery at RiverBend today with Dr. Yarborough (RNY).  Please join me in wishing her the very best.  I couldn't find a link to her surgery support page.  I guess I'm not a very good angel!  I'll call her tomorrow and see how she's feeling when she gets home.  Yep!  She's supposed to be home tomorrow!

You will have to keep us all informed.  I am sure she will come thru with flying colors!  

I just talked with Kathleen.  She came home from the hospital today and is doing well.  She had a bit of nausea from the pain meds this morning, but backed off on them a bit and feels good.  She's on full liquids and a little bit of soft protein.

Way to go Kathleen!

Glad to hear her surgery went well.  Of course, we both knew there wouldn't be a hitch!

Hi everyone! I am feeling so much better today. I took a half amount of pain medicine and a anti-nausia pill. I drank my water and my protein drink and had yogurt and applesauce for lunch.

The nurses and staff an Sacred Heart at Riverbend were wonderful. Dr. Yorborough was wonderful. I have 5 purple bruises on my incisions but they are only tender. Once the gas worked itself out of my body I was so much more comfortable.

I am so happy that the surgery is over and I have had so much good training by everyone at the Oregon Bariatic Center that I know what to do to stay healthy.

Going to take a nap now.
Love to all,
Kathleen
