Welcome home, Jac! I'm glad you're doing well, but I'm so sorry

about your puppy and parrot, and many prayers for Fred's safe and

speedy return from Iraq.

It's amazing that you've lost so much weight already, as we usually

bloat up a bit in the hospital. I'm sure you'll hit your goal very

soon...probably within a few days...LOL Take care of yourself. It's

great to have you back!

Hugs,

in NJ

> Well, after 4 of the longest days of my life, I'm home. I am now

a " true " RNY. The offending section of small intestine was removed,

along with that nasty gall bladder. The worst part of the ordeal was

the NG tube, which did not come out until late yesterday. It hurt my

nose, my throat, and gave me a raging ear ache. I was not a nice

person. The Foley catheter was fun in comparison. At the moment, I

have 21 stainless steel staples holding my tummy together. I have an

8 inch long incision. The good part is I lost 13 lbs, according to my

weigh in at admission and discharge. I only need to lose 4 lbs to be

at MY goal. I checked in at 162, I checked out at 149. My appetite

and capacity have reset at zero. I had only ice chips to suck on

> for 3.5 days, and broth (yuck) for lunch and dinner yesterday, and

this morning. Now, if the reflux is truly gone, I'm a very happy

camper. I expect that last 4 lbs will be gone by Monday.

> Unfortunately, I came home to very unhappy circumstances. While

Fred was at the hospital with me, someone let my dogs out of the

yard, and one of my basenjis, my rescue boy who was terrified of

everyone but me, went AWOL, got all the way to the highway, and was

run over and killed. My beloved little red parrot died, unknown

cause. My husband has been put back on active status to go to Iraq

sometime between August and October to train their army for

engineering We'll just see how that goes this time. I won't believe it

> now until I see his shipping orders. I just keep crying...being off

my Paxil for 4 days didn't help any either.

> All in all, however, I'm glad I got this done. I know I'm going to

feel much better soon.

Jac....Glad to hear everything went well with the surgery. So very sorry about

your pets. It's never a good time to loose them, but now I'm sure with emotions

on the anestia roller coaster, it's even hard. You have been very much on my

mind, and in my prayers. Please keep us informed concerning your progress, and

if the revision did get rid of the reflux. As another member said, maybe when

the time draws near for your husband to be deployed, things will have settled

down and he won't have to go. I'll keep you both in my prayers. Did you Mom

have her surgery? I was gone on vacation, so have missed out on some posting.

Hang in there and keep in touch!

Gail

Possible revision from loop-1981 to RNY
