I'm home from the hospital now  (as of yesterday)and am sooooooo happy.

My doctor (Dr. Paul Macik @ Northside Hospital in Atlanta) said that "everything came together real well", which I take to mean that the operation went well.  My 'angel'  said the whole thing took about ninety minutes (as opposed to the two+ hours we were originally quoted), before I was wheeled into recovery.

Since then, things have gone by like a blur, but it's all over now.

Thus starts my new life!

A month ago (Dec 14) my doctor told me that we were going to have to reschedule my surgery.  I still needed to lose 11 lbs to get back to my original weight (which I weighed when I first went to see him a year and a half ago).

To lose this weight, I started on a program of two protein shakes and one small, healthy meal per day.  I got weighed at my pre-op today and I've lost TWENTY pounds!

Which means my surgery is ON for Wednesday .

I'm soooooo happy, I feel like jumping up and down and doing a jig!!!
