Surgery is over and I'm home!!

Nov 06, 2009

Hooray!! I can FINALLY join the Loser's Bench!!!  It's a great feeling to finally have the surgery over with. All in all, everything went very well. My doctor said the surgery was textbook, without any complications.  However, when they checked my vitals yesterday, they said my oxygen was too low, so they kept me an extra day to run tests to be sure that I didn't have any blood clots in my legs or lungs... So everything is good, NO BLOODCLOTS, but I did have to come home with an oxygen tank for a few days until I follow up with my doctor. He said I need to expand my lungs so walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip and take very deep breaths.....

Thank you all for your encouragement, prayers and well wishes. It has truly meant alot to me. I want to say a special THANK YOU to Barb and Ashley, who were so kind to come to the hospital and wait with my family (to keep them calm) during my surgery. That truly means so much to me and I am forever thankful to you guys. And, also for the cute little journal Barb gave me to write down all my weightloss experiences on this roller coaster of a ride.

Gotta go rest for a bit. Talk to you guys soon!
