Update Had surgery Tuesday home late yesterday
Surgery went well I elected for VSG outside operating room. It was a lot more than I expected and I have high pain thresh hold. Recovery is going well as each day is getting better. Thinking of going up to our trailer in Sauble Beach to recover. They sure fill you full of fluids and gases I think a lot of pain is gas I'm having trouble to lay on back now whereas before I could only seem to lay on one side. No problem getting pills and vitamins down they've taken me off all blood pressure pills and metformin should be ok to stay off for good too. Tired as heck and thankful this parts done. Bye for now

Kathy 
Congratulations Camperguy. Give yourself all of the time you need and you will improve quickly. Walking helps the gas pains, even if you are tired. Do what you can and it will dissipate.
Keep us posted and wishes for a rapid recovery.
