YIKES that really scared me but the guru who did the test said it was a quite normal result in obese patients as their weight can restrict the airways compasity.(I learned something new today

Its common sense if I had thought of it but hadnt. So now I am trying to lay low and not catch the cold that is going around. I only have 4 more times schedualed out of my house, before surgery. SO I am crossing my fingers!
Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive to me on my journey..God bless you all

Way to go Angie you are on the losers side now. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to all those updates!!!!!

Tawna, I was just gonna post the same thing. Sounds like all went well. Her NG tube has to stay in until Monday....which is the worst part about having the surgery on the Thursday...oh well, she is on the other side now - and you will be soon too!

Glad to hear all is well!

HI everyone...sorry it has taken so long for an update. My husband was so busy with th eboys and running them around and visiting me he didnt post. Everything went textbook. I feel great. No pain, just a little pulling on the staples when I stand up too tall...Oh well it will all pass. I am finding it HARD to get in all the water. But working on it....what will happen if i dont get it all in????ahhhhhhhhhhh......the protein part I find easier as I have it in almost everything. Any advise would be GREAT....I will post more of my "hospital experience" when I can sit longer on this stupid computer chair....
Thanks everyone for all the well wishes
Angie

Hi Angie

glad to hear things went well
it is definitely hard to get in the fluids, just keep sipping girl, you don't want to get dehydrated, trust me on that one!

keep us updated as you can, us TT Family members stick together, but as you are a Nohr patient as well, you hold dear to my heart! Let me know if there is anything I can do.
