Done Deal!

As of May 24th I am on the losing side of life.  How exciting!  I did have one minor complication, but I believe (hope) that issue has been resolved.  I was released from hospital yesterday and am at my daughter's apartment until next week in case anything happens.  This way I can be in same city as ny doc and not 4 1/2 hours away.  I feel good.  Last night was the first time I had even felt like I had any kind of surgery and even that isn't too bad.  I had great care at the hospital and was actually surprised at the support I have from co-workers.  It certainly went a long way to help me get going.  I am excited to begin losing weight, but most excited about feeling like I did pre-op as far as pain, etc. goes.

Congrats! Welcome to the losers bench! Sliding over for you. Sorry you had a setback, buit so glad it is all resolved and you can stay with your daughter and be close to medical attention if need be. Hang on and get ready for a wild ride! (mostly very good).
Let us know if we can answer any questions or help in any way.

Good luck with your weight loss.  I sounds like you are off to a great start.  Congratulations I'll bet you do very well.  It is good that you have a nice support team in place.  Keep that in place and I have no doubt you will make your goal in no time.  Best wishes to you.  

Congrats Maggie, the losing will happen. Focus on recovery, fluids and proteins. Walk as you can and come update us frequently. Hugs
