Welcome home Brenda I'm glad you had a sucessful surgery. Best of luck to you with your recovery and weight loss. Congrats on the 1st 11 lbs Keep up the good work!! Susan

Brenda: Welcome to the losing side!!! As my surgeon told me the first two weeks are going to be hell but in time you will be doing better. Your journey is really just beginning (pre-op is like waiting for the plane to take off) and it's a little bumpy now but the plane will level off and the ride will become smoother in time. Don't worry about the smell of food making you nausous. It still happens to be at more than a year out. I guess it's just the nature of the beast. Best of everything, Jesse
