Patients of Dr. Smith Park Rapids

  Thank you all for your prayers!  I'm doing much better than I expected.  My surgery was on Tuesday, they also discovered and fixed a hiatal hernia.  I listened to all the advise here and got walking.  After my leek test, I started sipping. So far I've been able to get in all my water. 
I can not recommend Park Rapids enough.  Every nurse that I had was exceptional.  Hospital stays are never pleasant, but this one sure came close. 

I came home today at 9, have went out for a few short walks, sipping, sipping, sipping and following my diet plan.  I'm hoping things continue to go smoothly and I can skip the buyer remorse stage!

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.

Good to know you are doing good!  THey found the same thing with me with the hernia.  I used to get heartburn pretty constant before the surgery and after they fixed it, I haven't had any since.  Been quite nice actually!

I didn't have the buyers remorse either...I figured it was too late now to change things, just going to have to deal with it.  So far so good. 

Good luck and welcome home!

Glad to hear you are doing well!  Take it easy and do NOT push yourself too hard.  I went back to work a little too early, but I feel great now!

Let us know if you need anything.  The people here are great!!
