Hi all!

I'm home and alert enough to type on the puter!

It's been a struggle getting my water down, I have gas pains, hiccups, an acid-reflux sensation and a bunch of other weird things going on. It seems they are something alot of VSGers experience. I've been walking and sipping (as much as I'm awake.)

I have to send a special thanks out to my angels...paranoidmother, my Soror Angel Rachel Ford, need2bthin, CidGrad and Moni79. Thanks so much; everyone's calls, texts, emails, BBMs and OH posts are greatly appreciated! They really made me feel great!

I am so ready for this new journey in my life!

Sip, walk, rest, sip, walk, rest. And at least for me, there was a marked impovement each day.

Welcome to the losers bench! You will get past all those little inconvienences and then you are gonna love love with your sleeve!

Are you taking any cid reducer? If not you might speak to your surgeon ASAP about get a scrip for one. it helps tremendously.
Good luck and keep up the good work!
