Well, today is October 12, 2002, one day short of my one-month anniversary. I am sorry that I have been soooooooooo lazy and not updated my profile since my open RNY. All went well, and I am slowly getting back to normal. Throughout my hospital stay my pain never went above a 3 on a scale of 1-10. The most pain I had came from a severe headache and neck pain due to the tube during surgery. I also had some problems with my blood sugars going haywire (365 after sugery) but all seems back to normal. I would like to thank all of you wonderful people for signing my surgery page and sending warm thoughts and prayers my way. You are the greatest. I thank God for bringing me to this wonderful site and guiding me through surgery. I would like to send my prayers to all of you who are having surgery this next week.......May God Bless you and your family. May He keep His loving arms wrapped tightly around you, bringing you safely home. Love You All......Kimmie
