Hi all, Aimee here! I just wanted to say I'm home & The switch went well despite a few hinks (a bit of an elevated heart rate & some fevers, both ok now). It took them 4 hours to do the switch & despite my previous adhesions, it was done lap. That was great because I had open ops before & this was way less pain in the incision site. Thanks for all your prayers & good thoughts. I will post more when I can.

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I just got the call from DR.Gagner's office that I am the second procedure of the day (after a non WLS procedure). They expect me to be in the OR by 10:30 AM thankfully. I really didn't want to lay around all day waiting. Thanks so much for your prayers & good wishes! The confort, support & knowledge I have gotten from this area as well the the duodenal switch egroup, has been truly amazing. I wish you all back the same good wishese you sent to me & I will post as soon as I'm able. I will be in Mt Sinai hospital in NYC in case anyone wants to say hi (if they're there). Thanks again & see you after I'm switched!! Aimee Lefkowitz

Congratulations Aimee on your "switch" day. I'm hoping to have the same type of surgery, so keep me informed on how you're doing. Sending you prayers and best wishes for a speedy and painfree recovery.
