UPDATE!!!!!

 Ok so just wanted to let everyone one know I made it through surgery! I have to say this experience was so different from any other surgery I have had. I walked in sat in a chair while a nurse put IV in. Then I danced down the hallway with the OR nurse into OR room where my surgeon and anestethiologist were waiting for me. I laid on the table and joked around with them! The next thing you know I was being woke up in recovery! I felt really good! No nausea or dizziness. 6 hours after they had me up walking the halls which went well. Then every 4 hours they got me up to walk. I was aloud ice chips which I loved and then I would spray my mouth with biotene dry mouth spray which was a lifesaver!!! 

Dr Chu rocks! So glad I chose her! I will be going home later today after I have my first liquid meal. I am so not even hungry but I have to eat:-) 

If you are on the fence about whether or not to have this surgery... DO IT! Best thing I ever did for myself! 

Thanks to everyone keeping me in your thoughts and prayers and for all the encouraging words that helped me get to this point!!! XOXO

Congratulations!! Sounds like you had a quick and easy time of it! Just be sure to take it easy at home even if you feel like dancing again!! LOL. This is the best thing I ever did for myself, too. So happy for you!!

Welcome to your new life!  Lots of room on the loser's bench -- or in the new stadium Barb built LOL  So happy for you that it's going well.  I had an easy recovery, too.  There will be some challenges, but you've got a terrific attitude -- you'll deal with them well!

Here's to all our sleeves! 

 Congratulations for making it through the surgery!!! Welcome to the loser's bench. The care at Fremont is wonderful and they take very good care of their Bariatric patients.
