I'M A LOSER!!!! Has that Beatles song been going around in any one else's head? Hi everyone. I'm ho-ome. It's Monday 10/10, a week out from surgery. Everything went spectactularly. I got to St. Mary's in Long Beach at 5:30 a.m., but two other people had their surgeries first. They started me at 2:00. Dr. Fobi did my surgery himself, with a team of course, but I felt blessed to be in his capable hands. I had an open procedure. Lap surgery wasn't an option for me in the first place because of two previous abdominal surgeries (C-section and appy). Since it was going to be open, I opted to have the tummy tuck at the same time. First of all - THANK GOD I had an open procedure! Dr. Fobi told me and my husband that as soon as he got in there he found a HUGE (I don't think he uses that word lightly) hernia from my C-Section incision. He repaired that. As soon as he described where it was, it struck both Joe and I that I had been having pains there for about 10 years. Figure this one out...I have an 11-year-old son. I did not have a C-section, but had him the "regular way." Labor and delivery of a baby and a hernia! So, I have been carrying that around for a long time. Very glad it's gone. I'm sure the hernia would have had to be operated on sometime in the future, but not now. Joe, Johnny and I lived in the Holiday Inn next door to St. Mary's from Thursday night until this morning. Joe has taken wonderful care of me. I had an appointment at Dr. Fobi's this morning and Carol the PA took my G-tube out. Yay! No more tube. I'm eating purees. I've only had one night of yucky nausea. One of my medicines (Cymbalta) doesn't sit right. I'm going to have to figure that out, but I'm not going to do it tomorrow. I have found that there are certain protein drinks that I can handle. Others, I can't even lift the cup to my lips. The samples were a great idea. I'm not stuck with anything, and if it's icky -- out it goes! Josie, my angel, it was so hard to stay in touch. Joe left you messages. It was very good to talk to you on the phone. Yes, I'm still looking for the license number of the truck that hit me, and the one that followed that one. I'm doing well. I've been sitting up for 10 minutes typing this update. Thanks everyone, for all your wonderful notes. I've got 537 emails to read. Maybe tomorrow. Love, Cheryl
