Well I can hardly believe it myself, but I had my lap RNY surgery early Monday morning 3/28 (uneventful, thank God), was up walking that afternoon, and felt ready to go home on Tuesday. I stayed Tuesday night and was released today, and I’m totally amazed at how good I feel. I’m told to expect a big dip in energy as my body adjusts, and I’m prepared for that as best as can be. But for now, I’m so grateful to be feeling so good. Just a little discomfort from gas, no pain meds today. Dr. DeWitt is truly excellent, and his staff was exceptional. The Carraway folks were great, too. Now comes the fun part! ;-)

Hi everybody. Thank you SO MUCH for the messages of support & good wishes. It has been one helluva ride this week with the very restricted pre-surgery diet. Today is the last day of that, then it'll be a clear liquid Easter weekend, then before I know it it'll be surgery time. I have been too busy to freak out, honestly, and also too busy to spend much time on the computer. I will definitely be around once i'm home recovering. Thanks again for all the sweet messages. They really do help!
