Good to hear. A lot of hurry up and wait for the next few weeks. You'll be climbing the walls with bordom. The pain near your bellybutton is where they put the camera. Usually pain for about the first 3 days. After that discomfort for another 7...Then you should be fine. Know the signs of dehydration and know what a stricture is (Google them). Sleep when and where you can...recliner, couch, bed, floor. Use pillows in creative ways. Ask questions...I would ask questions in the middle of the night on the Main or RNY boards...You may not get the right answers...but usually you will. Don't worry about not getting in all your protein and water. Do your best and you should be fine. Later, Brian
