I'm back here now only two years as I moved away after high school and lived in Vancouver, Washington.  I'm enjoying my time back here near my family.  I'm in Waukesha, just 20 miles west of Milwaukee.  Gosh, I'm sorry you are going to the north side where there are shoot outs regularly.  I remember living on the south side in the mid 70's and we had that a lot too.  It's very scary, especially at night.  Here's hoping for a smooth move back and a quick transition into your own space out of the north side.  :)

Let's all meet up for coffee when you get back.  Our support group is at Elmbrook Memorial on the second Wednesday of the month.  That is in Brookfield so not that far for you to travel. 

Welcome back.

Yes, his program is very complete.  So far, I am not feeling so hot, but it hasn't been that long yet.  Eating is not so good. Nothing goes down well or tastes or sounds appealing at all.  Drinking is going okay, but I haven't started with milk or anything yet.  I had some dry heaves this morning that were very unpleasant!  I also get to work with blood sugars, since I am a type 1 diabetic (I have had diabetes since I was 3 years old).  So Dr doesn't want very low, which doesn't make me feel very good either.  Nobody tells you about this part of the surgery.  And I suppose everyone is different, but I just feel awful. I know it is too early to say if this is all worth it, I know it will be in the end, but I really do wish people were realistic about how you would feel after going home.  But it will get better! I know it will.  I has too! Thanks again for the concern and luck. It did go as well as they wanted, so that is good!
