RE: Betty!

[Guest guest]

Best wishes for your surgery tomorrow Betty! You have a positive attitude and

that's the major ingredient when embarking on something like this. You will do

fine. And you may find no nausea...I had lots before surgery and the only nausea

I had was when I got back to my room from recovery...they gave me a shot in my

iv and I never had it again. Then I had it again from my hormone pills. Dr.

switched me to a patch and I've not had nausea since. When I'm hungry, I know

it. I get all of the normal hunger symptoms. And the nice thing is that when I'm

hungry I can eat (not much albeit) and I am SATISFIED!

Keep us posted! Lots of us will be in Durham for the picnic so we'll be close

by.
