Ok guys I finally made it to the other side. You know and I'm not feeling to bad. I little tenderness on my left side but that's it. Dr. Potts did a great job and he is such a great guy. He was there to see me every day and Kelly was there to 12 on Friday checking on us. What a great team we have. I want to thank Bridget and Stacie for coming to see me it helped a lot to see some pretty faces on the other side. Alright guys I'm off to bed now. Lots of love and thanks again.

I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!!!
I'M A LOSER NOW.


Lots of love

Welcome Home!!!! Yep, you're a loser now! It's going to be an incredible experience watching the weight fall off. Warning....after an initial large drop of weight the 1st 2 wksbetween 2-4 wks postop, the scale might not move. Don't freak out....it is normal. Sip, sip, sip your water constantly, all waking hours! Each day you'll feel a bit better, though it can be quite rough at first. Hang in there, Tonya!

I'm feeling great but I'm a little confused on what meds I'm suppose to be taking. Can anyone help me out on this. My mom did just yell at me because I got up and cleaned my bathroom sink and mirror. I'm mean I"m a little sore but nothing like I thought. Well thanks again guys.

They should have gone over your medication regime at your pre-op meeting but as far as I know the only thing you take right now are the following:

Your Raditine (sp?), multi-vitamin, and Lortab if needed. At your one week they will tell ya what to start on afterwards and when. Do not take anything other then those as far as I know.. except gas x if needed.

Good luck and call the office if you have any questions about meds.. If you were on meds pre-operatively I would call and find out what you should be taking if any of those meds.. good luck girl..

Are you tripping? Dont be getting all crazy like Gerrie did... give it a week at least! I know it's hard when your feeling great after surgery... but chill. Act like your rich and just let other people take care of YOU! Take your Bugs Bunny vitamins for now... shoot call Kelly... you'll get the right information in a quicker amount of time! I love your face! You know EVERYTIME I hear JMM on the radio I think of you... your a stuck with me through my lifetime!

Thanks Karen
Yeah that is what my mom keeps telling me so I've agreed to get lots of rest. I did go for a little walk today because I'm can't deal with being stuck in this house. Going for little walks is not bad right?
