Home sweet home
I am home from the hospital, yay! I had bypass on monday. I was so glad to get home 
...right now the thing that hurts the most is my hand where the IV was...it had a little swelling when they took it out and they told me to treat it with ice. My back hurts too from the abd. binder, but other than that im pretty good...just glad to be home and have the support of others again.

Welcome to the losers bench Michelle.
Glad your surgery was uneventful. My IV vein seemed to be swollen for weeks and my back hurt from laying down so much. Sounds like your on track for a normal recovery.
One tid bit of FYI I learned the hard way. I am 5 weeks out and feeling GREAT. Which is a good thing, but because I was feeling so good I think I thought I could do more than Dr, Ameri recommended and ate something I should not have had. I puked for almost 24 hours and ended up in the hospital last night for an endoscopy to unplug my pouch.
So, no matter how good you are feeling learn from my mistake and follow the rules. :^)
Take care and get rest.
