Hi Kym, I just read your profile because I am interested in fellow DS patients post-op lives. I, too, had a DS about 17 months ago and am very happy with my surgery. I was so happy to see your success thus far and really enjoyed your journal and progress updates. I laughed my head off when I read your story about the throw-up episode the day you were so hungry and ended up eating too much. I've done that several times--actually more times than I care to admit. Then I came to the part where you are faced with a hysterectomy and the possibility that you might have cancer. I want you to know that I will be keeping you in my prayers, and I also want to encourage you to keep the faith. God has you in the palm of His hand and He is ultimately in control of your life. I had to have a partial hysterectomy about 6 years ago. My doctor intended to take only my uterus, but after he got in there, he found a mass on one of my ovaries that was the size of a tennis ball. He took it out and sent it to the lab to be examined. Fortunately, it was benign. I pray that you will receive the same good news. I look forward to hearing more about you after surgery and recovery. You have blessed me with your story. Thank you and God bless you, Brenda

Hi Kym, just checking up on you. Sounds like you are doing great. I am also loosing slower than I thought. I am finally down 63 pounds. Had my 3 month check and everything is great. Isn't it great to reach some of those goals we have, even if some mean only a few pounds between steps. Keep up the good work. Yes, I know I need to update my page too. LOL

I'm so glad to hear everything went well for you! I too had my surgery on June 5th (the AGB) and have lost 15.5lbs so far. You will be in my thoughts and I hope you heal fast!! :)

That's wonderful Kym! Naw, drains coming isn't particularly painful... Mostly just feels weird... but YMMV... in any case, you don't want those tubes following you home, so what choice is there? Keep up your liquids and I'll continue to hold good thoughts in mind for you! Gayle

Hi! It's me posting from Kinko's in Bakerfield 5 days after my DS surgery. I got sprung yesterday. :) I feel great. I'm a little tender, and I tire out easily, but I am really surprised how fast I felt better. I really really really concentrated on my walking and I credit that with my speedy recovery. I got out on day 4 after surgery. I am most worried now about having these Drains removed on Wednesday. I've heard mixed reviews about how painful it is. So prayers are appreciated. I'm a wimp! I just wanted you all to know I am doing ok and I appreciate your support. --Kym

Kym!!! Read your sister's update that you've done well so far and was THRILLED to see that you had wanted UP, UP, UP right away like we talked about! Good for you! Things may get more difficult before all is as it should be, but don't worry YOU have all that is needed for a wonderfully fine journey! See you soon! Gayle

Glad to see the update on Kym. Glad she did so well. Thought we were going to be switched sisters on the 5th, but mine was canceled, because the doctor's insurance went bankrupt and he has to find another. Hope to be rescheduled soon.

hi all, I'm kym's sister Meredith. She made it through great. All went well and she seems to be comfortable. She's been a real trooper with some nausea and spasms but the nurses and staff are great with helping out. She was much more coherent tonight and wanted up up up. She walked some although it was short, we were all proud. The first time she tried, she almost passed out a few times. Anyway thanks to all for their thoughts and prayers. Meredith
