Thanks so much!!
I can't believe it's finally here! I'm so ready!!
You have all been such great friends to have on this journey. I can't wait to be on the loser's bench with you all. Thanks for sharing your journey...the good and the bad, so I know what to expect.
I'll check in with you all as soon as I'm able to let you know how I made out.

See you on the other side!!

Best of luck to you both! We'll shuffle over and make room on the bench, there's always room for a couple more!
Surgery: RNY on 12/18/2013 with Jay M. Snow, MD "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness." - Robert Herjavec, quoting Al Capone
Made it home today! My surgery was scheduled for 7:45am Tues 12/31, my husband said I was back in the room by 12:30 (I dont remember much) slept til 4:30 or so before starting to take laps around "the block." Took two laps then, another nap and a couple more laps later. Sleep a few hours, wake up for vital's and/or meds and took another lap or two each time. The nursing staff at Cayuga Medical Center (Ithaca, NY) were absolutely excellent, as was my surgeon Dr. Bollo. Everything went very smoothly, I had no pain post-op. It felt like/feels like I had a really good ab workout. I overdid it a little with the walking and caused some sore muscles in the legs too, lol! I started clear liquids about 24 hrs after getting back to my room. So far so good! Thanks again everyone for the support. I hope everyone who had their surgeries earlier in the month are healing well. Here's to a happy and healthy new year!!!! 2014!!!
