LauraLeaffan is officially on the losers bench
Dr Bhojani just came out and said everything went well. She is in recovery right now. I know she has been bragging about me and my progress. Believe me when I say I couldn't have done it without her. She is the strongest and smartest person I know. My rock, my love.
You got this.

Thanks Leeann!! Well like Doug said it was a success. I was groggy most of yesterday....I have been undergoing and about today....gas pain is there and I was told I would likely start tooting this afternoon. The pain is manageable with the pain killers....the nurses are awesome here as was the surgical team. I am tolerating decaf tea...jello ...broth and diluted juice well. Since I was out of it most of the day they gave me extra Iv as my blood work showed I was slightly dehydrated..but drinking way more today. Anything else u want to know just ask....surgery is closer to 3 hours Dr Bhojani said before I went in and he did come out and talk to my family.
Laura
Great news Doug. Give her a hug and let her know we're u thinking of her. Love, support and encouragement is what it's all about.

Thanks Linda...sorry for the delay...I was tuckered out after a while yesterday..the team here is awesome. I am here one more night as my blood level was down a bit today....but nothing else alarmed him....he said I look great...all other indicators are normal but he want to just be cautious. Gas pain al almost gone and I feel better that way.
Thanks,
Laura
