had my surgery 7-25!!!
I had my surgery Wednesday with Dr. Edwards and all went GREAT! For those of you that are waiting...it is worth it. I did the two weeks pre-op and survived just fine. I admit, the night before surgery I had ice cream.....shamey but Dr. Edwards said everything was perfect and it went like a text book case. 45 minutes after I got out of recovery I was on my way home. It took more time waiting to have the surgery than to actaully have it and recover. I am a little sore in the belly but nothing horrible. I expected it to be a lot worse. I think I did over do it yesterday running around town and I slept more today but I still made it to Barnes and Nobles, Best Buy and of course, Wal-Mart. I think tomorrow we are going to walk around the car show here in Republic and then maybe the fair in the evening. I have not been hungry and my hubby is having to remind me to eat....threatening me with my hair falling out helps. The two weeks pre-op was a lot of jello and pudding! LOL The soups from the Healthy Weight Supermarket are good too.... I got lots of different protein drinks to mix up my flavors and that helps. If I can survive it, so can everyone else. Also, juts wanted you to know that after the surgery isn't that bad. Doing a lot of belching today but that is about it! Jennifer Republic, MO
