Hi everyone...Lisa here

Hey all, Just got back from the hospital for a check up with the anesthesiologist. All is great today. I feel wonderful. Rosella told me I could go home today but we had already changed the plane tickets to Thursday and it would cost ANOTHER $150 to change them again, so we're going to stay. As a bonus, Dr. Aguirre will be able to take out my g tube and 1/2 staples tomorrow morning, so I'm glad he can look at everything one more time. I was able to meet GerrAnn. She looks AWESOME! She looked like she could get out of bed and do whatever she wanted. It was great to see her. Tami was in surgery so I wasn't able to talk to her yet, but we're going to try to go back over there tonight to see how she's doing. I guess she had a little trouble with the IV this morning so she started stressing. I haven't been eating very much. I am afraid to fill up because if I vomit, i don't want my head hurting again. So I have been eating very little...yogurt, cottage cheese, melba toast. But today I had a protein smoothie and should feel a little better. Rosella said I have to 'eat, eat, eat' so I get my vitamins but I am hesitant after yesterday's 'incident'. Well, I'm off to get a little laundry done. I feel great today and am really thankful I had a support group down here when I had some trouble. Cindy...I told GerrAnn today, you're the only one I didn't get to see very much! That sucks, and you were in the next room!! ARGH. But we can just drive a little to see each other. Hope Mike is doing well. Talk to you all soon. Thanks again for all your support. Lisa

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress! I can't wait to join you on the losing side. Since you are staying a few more days, maybe you can go whale watching. It is supposed to be great - February is supposed to be the best month in Ensenada to see the grey whales. I hope I feel well enough to go before I have to come back home. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

guess i missed the exictment lisa. i read where the binder was causing you grief but i missed the rest. anyway, i'm glad you're feeling better and i wish you all the best. i have enjoyed watching you and your group. marty pendleton

Glad you are feeling good, Lisa. Every day you will feel better and better. Remember I am here for additional support once you get home. Sue F.

hey lisa ya i was bummed we didn't get to hang out more but hey we both had our guts rearranged at the same time so we weren't up for bonding quite yet lol. im glad you are doing good. I had mike check on you many times to make sure you were doing okay. He said you were doing good. I tried to see if you were around so you could shop with Tracy and I but you must have been gone. We will get together sometime once you get home. I finally got my g-tube out today and half my staples yesterday. i will wait to get the other half out on monday. Im so glad we all did great with this. Looking forward to being skinny Talk to you soon Cindy
