Posting with a wave of relief

[Guest guest]

I must say that I am mainly a lurker...and a sponge...I have been absorbing

all this wonderful information for the past month.

Just wanted to get into the fray and tell my progress...for I'm sure I will

have questions popping up for the next year.;-)

I went into the hospital last Tuesday, June 8, and was weighed at 367. I

had the laposcopic surgery late afternoon. Felt terrific. My off day was

the following day, but I did walk without any trouble...and did so well they

let me go home the following day. I would say the worse thing was what I

had inquired about here earlier...caffeine withdrawal. Boy the headache!

Now that I see the ending of this part...I will never go back to caffeine

again!

Anyway I had my first visit to the doctor today...to remove the drain pouch.

I had lost 22 pounds! So far everything seems great. I believe I will have

to use MoM a bit, but the doctor didn't seem considered at this stage.

I love all the info here...especially the suggestion of the fat pouch for

the insurance approval.

Thanks everyone for sharing and being here.
