Tomorrow's the day!

Hi guys, I'll keep this brief........I go in for my RNY tomorrow morning, and I just wanted to thank you all for all you've shared with me over the past few months.  I'm very thankful that this part of my journey is coming to a close and it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun if it weren't for the great guys in this forum.   Now, I can't wait to fart my brains out with the rest of you LOSERS!  See you all on the other side, Bill

Good luck tommorow, don't worry - you Will(iam) B Fine! After your surgery, you will wake up a little soar, but everything will be great, you will be on the losers side, you'll still have your little guy to look forward to coming home to, and the Soxxx will still be in first (me - big schilling fan, since the days he led my D-Backs past The Evil Empire). Go get 'em! "3-2 count, the payoff pitch, and Bill hits a high fly ball, deep to left towards The Green Monster, it's back, back, back......."

Best wishes and godspeed to you!  May your surgery be successful and the drugs be strong!  Get up and moving as soon as possible - it makes a huge difference and gets your recovery going much quicker. When you're up to it - please let us know how you're doing! Cards Fan "NO MORE EXCUSES!  THERE IS NO TOMORROW!  OUR TIME IS NOW!"

Bill You know that I will be thinking of you.  Good luck and I will join you on the loser bench on Wed. Keep us up to date on your progress. Randy

My thoughts will be with you. I am two weeks post-op, down 23lbs and I feel fantastic.  I am sure that you will  get throught this with no problems.  Be sure to do your walking and breathing exersizes for a faster recovery. There is a space on the Loser's Bench waiting for you. Oh!  Don't forget to flirt with the nurse's.  If you make them smile you can get lots of extra............   

Thoughts and prayers for an uneventful surgery and speedy return home Bill. -Dan

hiya PB! Guess I gotta hope for female nurses, then!  LOL See you on the other side, Bill

Bill, I'm not going to wish you luck because I know that everything will be just fine! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Just keep telling yourself that it IS worth it!

Hi Bill When I woke up after the surgery the worst pain I had was from the staples from the largest incision. I remembered what Dx told me about staying ahead of the pain.  When they came to ask about pain I told them yes until they knocked the edge off. When I got in my room and they hooked me up to a pump I hit the button every twenty minutes.  Two and a half or three hours after surgery I told my wife to help me get up and I went for a walk. I think staying ahead of the pain was what helped me get up and get moving. The walking helped me with the pain and getting the gas moving.  Wont be long you will be farting and FARTing, both are good.  pan head

Bill  Good Luck tomorrow I know all will go as planned and in 1 week I will join you on the losers bench.Dan
