Dr. Shikora said everything went well and I feel pretty considering I just had surgery.  So far I haven't had any issues with keeping my fluids and medication down.

They ran out of rooms so i spent Wednesday night in the PACU, didn't get to my room until around 4:00 Thurdsday night, but I ended up with a private room so that was a plus.  Also, after they took my catheter out, I wasn't able to pee so they had to put one back in to drain my bladder.  my nurse had trouble gettting it in and after her second try she had another nurse do it, that wasn't fun at all.  Luckily I've been able to go on my own since then.

I'm happy to be home now and hope the pain doesn't last too long.  
 
Thanks for all of your help so far, I'm sure I'll be asking for more in the future.
