I'm home...
Just thought I should let you all know i'm home and alive. For those of you who sent kind words before and after surgery I want to thank you all it really meant a lot to me. As for how i'm doing... well...I had surgery Tuesday (24th) and everything went good and for that i'm very glad as I had alot of pre-surgery jitters. I got to come home Thursday only to have to go back to the hospital for extreme pain and neausea in the middle of my stomach. (which I'm still having) I havent really been able to eat much since I got home it just wants to come back up. They thought I had a gastronial bug that I might have caught during surgery...so they ran alot of blood test, cat scan to make sure stomach wasnt leaking.. chest xray etc.. and everything looked good they said. They put me on pain meds and some anti-neausea meds and they do help some what for a bit. I keep hoping i'll wake in the morning with this glourous outlook at having this surgery and I really envy the ones saying its been so great for them and how good they feel! I really want that feeling too right now! I go back to the doctor this week to see what he thinks. Just wanted to let you all know i'm home and alive and when i'm feeling better i'll come back and fill you all in with an update! Hope your all having a great weekend and thanks again for the kinds messages!

Hope you are feeling better tomorrow. So far I have done very well with very little discomfort. I still haven't been able to get all my liquid in, but have been able to increase it every day. Getting about 1/2 of the protein right now. I'm on clear liquids until after my appointment on the 3rd. How about you?

Hey there! Glad to hear that you are home! I hope you get to feeling better very soon! I came home on Thursday as well with a surgery that went very well, only to be readmitted on Friday with dehydration (even though i was getting in all of my liquid). Just got back home yesterday. I really hope you start feeling back to normal soon!
