Thanks for the well wishes everyone! My gall bladder is no more, and surgery went fine. Lasted about an hour, some scar tissue, but still lap procedure. I was home by 7 p.m. due to rush hour traffic and being 1 1/2 hours from surgery center. Slept in a recliner all night.

I stepped on the scale this morning, and was up 6 lbs! Then of course I had to remind myself that I was pumped full of saline and carbon dioxide, etc., and assured by the nurse that this is all water weight. BUT STILL.....it plays a game with your mind!

Anyway, 4 small incisions, one was done at the site of one from my RNY.

Oh, Cheryl N.,....DOC LANDERS says to say "Hi" back to ya. And I didn't have Eric, I had Bob (Nurse Anesthetist).

I'm anxious to get all healed up, I have a road trip planned to Portland and Clackamas for Labor Day weekend!

Thanks you all---
Hugs,
Kathy
