Claire-in-Texas

Lap RNY was scheduled on 4/5, but was bumped to 4/9 because of scheduling problms in the OR. I was glad, actually, because the bump made me first in line for surgery.

All went very well, no problems. And while there are times when I feel like crap, I am REALLY happy that it is done, and I am moving forward.

I weighed myself on the day I got home (Wednesday) and really freaked that I had GAINED 10 lbs from surgery. Well, yahhh, it's the super hydration and all that gas. As of this morning, it was gone, so now it's all for the good.

I have NO pain at all, just soreness at the incision above my belly button. I feel that soreness when I walk, sit and stand. That, too, is getting less and less.

Thank you for all the support I have found here as I anticipated the surgery for six weeks. I really appreciate you.

Claire
