Welcome Anna!
Sounds like you are really psyched and that is wonderful!
I am four weeks out of surgery as of tomorrow.
And just starting to eat real food again...

Welcome, Anna! Please be sure to stop by the October Stapler's thread--that's where you'll find all your October peers!

Hi and welcome to TT. As said, I suggest you jump on the October 2009 Staplers thread. You will be travelling and progressing along with others in the same boat as yourself.

Good luck.

Welcome Anna. I haven't had surgery yet, so I don't have any advice or stories to share. But I wanted to say hi welcome you.
