  1. Thank you honey, no regrets here. I'll take it a day at a time like my surgeon says. Good luck to you all, they really keep a close eye in you and only let you go if everything checks out ok.
  2. Thanks Rem, yes as long as you keep fluids down and passing urine as well as walking you can go home. They had some issues with my Blood Pressure being low and my Blood Sugar being high after surgery, but they seen to have stabled out now. I am really sore, but glad to be home.
  3. My surgery went well on 4/23/13, I went home yesterday, still really sore and tired. I am walking and taking in clear liquids, not a lot but enough they said. My pouch likes jello and Popsicles The surgeon found a Hernia he had to surgically repair, and a lot of scar tissue they had to remove, he said it was really 3 surgeries he gad to do, so now I know why I'm sore. I haven't had any problems with nausea at all Thank Goodness.
