Home from Hospital....

I had my surgery (RNY-O) on Monday, 7/19. I unfortunately ran into a few problems with sky high BP and racing heart, so I had to stay a bit longer and am taking a few extra meds at the moment. Other than that, I am doing ok. Having problems drinking water - it's like drinking stones. I do much better with Fruit Refreshers. I'm taking my pain meds and getting up and moving around as much as I can. Thanks to all of you who offered your support - (especially maryann! ). I'm sure I'll be back to ask 100 questions!! Hugs, Nancy

Hi Nancy, Welcome to the losing side. Sorry you had trouble, but the most important thing is that you MADE IT! Rest up, each day will get a little better than the one before and you'll be back to your new self in no time! irene

Nancy, The only way I can drink water is if it is ice cold, for some reason It goes down alot eaiser. the next three weeks are hard, if it does get better. I had my surgery 3/22 and am down 68pds, Best of luck to you, Simone
