9 Days Post Op RNY (open) Online:

Hi you all Last time I posted was the night before surgery. All went well. I had the most wonderful Angel, Arlene W., who even came to see me in the hospital. She went above and beyond, I cannot thank her enough! I just hope I can be as good an Angel when my turn comes, as she was. Thanks to all your prayers, good wishes, and support, my surgery went just as planned with no complications. I will put all details on my Profile, but just wanted to let you all to know I am back. I returned home on the 14th, and my wonderful Jim, has been nursing me all through this with his wonderful love and care. Most of all, I thank God for sending me to the right surgeon, Dr. Weber, and sending me to this sight. I never would have had the courage without reading all your shares. Each day I feel a little stronger, and even enjoyed showering and washing my hair today. My staples come out on Friday. Meantime, we are getting used to a new way of eating. Just wanting to sign in and let you know I am here. Love, Santina
