Sandra, Thank you for putting another update in your profile. I am only 3 weeks postop, and I really enjoy seeing success which is long term and such a positive attitude. Congrats on your success, and thank you again for keeping newbies like me on the positive road! Kristen

Sandra..I tried to get to your email but, for some reason, couldn't. Anyhow..I want to thank you for posting an answer on the q&a board, to my question about band vs RNY. There is nothing like opinions from people who experience the different surgeries. Thanks again..hugs..MJ

Welcome home Sandra, it will get better, I have only been home for six days now, and my feelings have changed. I am so happy that I did this, although I still can't sleep the way I want to, or sleep through the night, but I am willing to give that up for a short time, so I can be healthy. Best of luck Melody DeRose San Diego Ca.

Just wanted to let everyone know I got out of the hospital yesterday and am doing fine! Thank you for all your kind wishes. The surgery went flawlessly. I'm a little stiff now and a LOT gassy - is all this burping normal? - but other than that I feel fine! Can't wait to get on with my new life.

Congratulations Sandra! We will share the same rebirth date! I pray that you have an uneventful, successful surgery. That God's hands guide the surgeon and that you will up and losing in no time at all! Never thought that being a loser could be so much fun! I can't wait as I am sure you can't either! Let's keep in touch as we travel this road together!
