Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your prayers, concerns and support. Surgery was on Monday-I had open RNY, I have 28 staples going down my gut-and I am home already. I had one of the best experiences anyone could have. Dr. Poulk in Portage WI is a great surgeon. I was up and moving by Monday night with little pain, and completely off my pain meds by Wednesday and taking laps around the hospital by Weds morning. I feel wonderful, hopeful and excited. I even got on on my new tread mill today and did a 1/2 mile. I feel so good that I need to remind myself to slow down!! I think everyones prayers helped and also the skillful hands of the best surgeon around. I will keep you all posted Thanks Patty

Hi, Now you are getting excited, nervous, and maybe even a little scared. All those feelings are normal. You are about to begin one of the most fantastic journey's of your life. Weight loss is a given, but the things that you will discover that never occurred to you pre-op, will astound you. I was going to list some, but the fun is in experiencing them for yourself. If you don't already know, the message board is a God send to all of us. The most wonderful support system imaginable. You are never alone in this journey because we have one another for help along the way. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days and months to come. Know at all times there is someone who cares about you, because we've been there and we understand. Have a wonderful journey, and enjoy those first steps! Blessed be, V
