So, I had my surgery on Monday the 18th and came home from the hospital on Thursday. Have to say the staff at the hospital was wonderful.....too bad I got the roommate from HELL! Is there no such thing as hospital ettiquite????? This woman was so loud and obnoxious....on the phone constantly, swearing and just an over-all b***h. Made my stay almost unbearable....the staff felt so bad for me and tried to get me out of the room...but they were full. Anyway (thanks for letting me vent), everything went well and I am feeling pretty good....except for the Gas!!! OY>>> I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband who has been right by my side the whole time, changing my dressings, forcing me to drink the dreaded water, etc. Am even going to venture out tom. and go to a baby shower for a while....think I can liquify some cake..LOL! want to say Thanks for all the well wishes you guys sent me and for your words of advice. This is a journey and we all have a story to tell.....mine is just beginning and I am so excited but have to rememebr this is not a quick fix. There is lots of work ahead but one day at a time sounds good to me right now. Take care, Ellen

Hi Kate, My name is Ellen and I live in MA not far from the NH coast. I cant believe I am saying this but I am having surgery tommorrow!!!!!!! It seemed like it would never get here but it is....I am nervous, excited, anxious and more. The two week liquid diet before surgery has been the hardest part for me but I have lost 14 lbs. Will be updating my profile as soon as I feel up to it, which I hope is soon:) Ellen
