Hi everyone!
Hi my OH Friends-
I wanted to thank everyone that wished me well for my surgery on 2-17-04.
I also wanted to give everyone a quick update:
o My surgery went great-thanks to my surgeon Dr Ali.
o No complications. 2 ½ hour lap gastric bypass.
o I walked a lot in the hospital and did a lot of deep breathing.
o I also followed the doctors and nurses instructions!
I came home at 10:30am on Friday, February 20, 2004!
Since then, I feel great! Very little pain, a lot of energy, not more heartburn, my asthma is soooo much better and I am more happy then I have been in a long time!
I think that I had such miraculous results because of a few things:
o My attitude-I was determined to succeed and not have very much pain! Attitude is everything!
o I walked like a fool in the hospital-every 2 hours (even in the middle of the night) Walking helped me when I couldn’t sleep to get tired and relax-it also helped my breathing and fever.
o Relaxing, taking deep breathes and getting a massage before surgery!
o Focusing on my goals and going to support group!
Thank you again to everyone that brightened my day by sending me their prayers for a successful surgery! You prayers and mine were answered!
Thanks-
Lynnda
