Holy crap I actually did it!

Can't believe I went thru with it, thought about surgery for so long it's almost surreal that it's done!  Surgery went well yesterday, hard to believe that my turn finally came and went! Little sore in the shoulders from the co2, belly is just a bit punchy like wayyy too many sit-ups.

Horrible ketone mouth breath today yowzaa!! Resident was in this am and ordered my foley out and clear liquid breakfast. I've already been walking several times, so today sip and walk and rest! Doc said I may even get to go home this afternoon!

You must be doing pretty good, Kate, if you have the energy to let all of us know you're done. Surreal is a good word for it...so is grateful, exciting, and game-changing.  All the best.

Congrats Kate !!!   I'm so happy for you.   Your in for a amazing journey....take things easy and don't go to fast.    Thank you for the update and remember to rest and take care of you.

Yay!!  Welcome to the losers bench!!  You are in for such an amazing journey...ups and downs but for sure life changing!!

congrats! Keep us posted on how your doing once you get home! 

Congrats!  It sounds like you are doing great!  Keep up the great work!

Best wishes!

Awesome!  I had the same experience - went home the day after surgery and never had much pain and have had zero complications.  Keep your spirits up!  I am down 15% of my body weight (not excess weight - BODY weight) in less than 10 weeks.  The first few weeks of liquids are tough but you are going to feel so amazing!  SOOOOO amazing!  Congratulations and welcome to the other side!!!

Congrats Kate!

Congratulations Kate! You will be so happy you finally got there!

Try to take it slow for a few days, heal up and take care. Well wishes being sent your way !
