Hi, I finally made it home.. It felt so good to sleep in my own bed. Surgery went great.. no complications.. I did have it open.. but I new that before. I did have a Ng tube, G tube, foley, and J.P. tube, but I was prepared for that too! I was in the hospital.. 7 days.. but it really went by fast. I started walking late the nite of surgery.. did my deep breathing.. I passed the barium test with no leaks.. I feel great! I am tolerating liquids just fine... and have just started pureed.. that is going good too! Thank you to all who prayed for me.

Well, I am packing and getting ready to leave.. Dr. K wanted to do a vena cava filter so I am having that procedure done on Tue morning. I am a little nervous... my husband is Too, so not a lot of support here so I really appreciate ALL of the support from everyone here!!! Its comforting to know people are supporting and praying for you. Blessings to all. I will talk to you when I get home!

I am so glad this week is over.. Very exhausting fighting for your rights.. I finally had my LOA approved.. my supervisor was finally convinced that open RNY is not elective surgery... by upper management and a letter of medical necessity from my DR. I am trying to educate along the way.. Has anyone else had trouble with this??? After being embarassed, humileated.. and just on the verge of harrased.. I am good to go! Who thought it could be so easy LOL! absolutely unbelieveable... Now I can focus on the really thing.. Surgery! I started liquids on Thur.. I am trying not to think about food! Thank god for slimfast!

Well.. its 14 days until surgery.. I am getting so excited.. I finally told my sisters.. It went okay.. I have so many things I want to do in life.. I feel like a little kid on christmas morning!

Well.. I am counting down the days now! I didnt think this dream would come true.. My only thorn is my supervisor.. She wants me to postpone surgery until Sept.. due to her vacation! I am so NOT! I have struggled for almost 43 years with this issue.. and this is finally a reality! I think only someone who has truly been overweight can understand why we chose WLS. I decided this is going to be the summer of Cindy!!! I am going to put myself before the needs of other! Anyone want to join me?
