Well guys I am home from hospital

Feb 16, 2009

Well i have been home forthe past 2 days.  My daughter and i did great during the surgery. And thanks to all the prayers and thoughts we are home now safe and almost sound.  The biggest complaint as of right now is the drain, and GAS pains.  But this too will pass.  I had the surgery thursday late afternoon, because they took my daughter first,  and got up to walk by 9pm that night. On friday morning i felt great except for the drain.  We had the swallow studies and did great with the results.  all is well and stitched tight.  They made my girls pouch very tiny.  And made mey sleeve as small as they could. My daughter Kstarted the clear fluids on friday night and i was too nauseated to try that night.  Sosaturday they said i couldnt leave til i drank fluids.  So you bet i did.  Held it all down and we came home 4pm saturday.  K is having alittle more trouble then i with rinking the fluids and the pain.  But she had never had any type of procedures before.  And as i have said before this is my 14th surgery and my 10th abdominal one.  So i am like an old pro at this i guess.  So just to let youknow how it went if you have any ?'s feel free to contact me.  I will answer what ever you need. Thanks for the prayers and good luck to you who still have to go.   bye for now Gail
