Gina, Welcome to the losing side! Remember, the first 2-3 weeks are the worst. I pray you are feeling better each day and your dreams will be fulfilled with this surgery. May God continue to hold you in his healing hands and help you get closer to your goals each day. Tami

Hello, everyone!!! I had my surgery on August 29, 2002, which was a lap RNY. Surgery lasted about 2-2 1/2 hours. There were no complications during surgery. I was in the hospital for 4 days due to excess air in my system after surgery. I came home on September 2, 2002. I've had a little pain, but that's to be expected. Actually, the pain's not as bad as I thought it would be. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and words of encouragement. They obviously worked!!!
