Yesterday they bumped my Hospital arrival from 6am to 9am....surgery around 10:30-45....No NG tube or drain! This was a piece of cake! Much better than gal bladder 2 years ago...they do have me doped up though, but I'm racing around the halls walking my soon to be little tookas off! I do need to pee soon or else the catheter goes back in....not fun....didn't make it...OUCH!!!! Wish they had left the one in from operation....Welcome all the other 12/14 Sleevers..and thank you to everyone who has posted and replied for all your 'experience, strength & hope'..as it's made the journey a lot easier/better!
