Well, I missed last year's party to be in Ohio with family.  I'd have preferred Myrtle Beach! 

Yes, I plan on being at the next meeting.  I'm gonna channel the spirit of my grandma to round up as many peeps as possible...I'll post it later.

Hey K9 sorry I missed you there.  I had planned on going but my family decided to do a last minute weekend trip to Myrtle Beach and I could not pass up the chance to see my nephew and niece so I was in Myrtle Beach (where it was like 34 degrees).  Next weekend is the DS support group in Cookeville will you be there for that and are we having a get together afterwards?

Missed you at Centennial's holiday reunion.  It was a lot of fun.  Rhonda Denise and I ended up at a table of Houston patients.  I'm sure his ears were burning for a bit of the time.  See you soon here in Cookeville.

UPDATE

Let me do a quick run through

Dec 2nd got the Sleeve at Vandy from Dr Williams and Staff it went well. I was in Recovery Ward till 10 p.m. because of no bed available but they were nice and you have Nurses and Doctors within Arms Reach. No Bed Was still available so they brought in a Bed and kept me in the Recovery Ward and I probably received better care there then if I would have gone to a Private room.

Dec 3rd. Was sore able to drink and get up and walk took painkillers and slept alot was released around 2 p.m. and drove home which was about a 25 minute drive and handled it well

Dec 4th. Sore tired groggy no major naseu no vomitting just recovering and starting to feel Human again . Sipping lots of Water and some protien drinks and broth. I do best if I sit up a little most times if I lay to flat I get a reflux feeling. ( the liquid Loratab pain killer is Nasty stuff to taste but it does the job.


Dec 5th. This day was great had no problem drinking and walking to get rid of Gas.


Dec 6th. Not quite as good today may have over did it yesterday finnaly had a BM I was starting to Worry. Taking my time recovering had some water, protein drinks, some Jello and some soup.

Dec 7th. Diarhia in the late morning big time not worried about constipation at all know. Trying to get in my recommended water and full liquids going tommorrow for my First follow up.


Thanks
