Just got home from the hospital, surgery went great. Doc said my liver was real clean and flexible, made surgery real easy. Only problem was in recovery my oxygen saturation was low, but they gave me a breathing treatment and had me use one of those deals you have to inhale and keep the ball floating. I am not in any pain other then discomfort from gas, but after I lay down I will walk a little and if that don't work they said half to a whole chewable gas-ex. I have lost 23 lbs over the last 2 weeks with my pre-op diet and I hope to keep it going, though it should not be at that pace now.

Congratulations!!! You can also use Gas-X strips if you can't do the chewables. The more you walk (without over doing it) the more it will move that gas out of your system. You have done great so far with 23lbs. Keep up the great work.:cursing:

Congrats, glad to hear you are done and on the road to recovery and a new life! Walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip.

Congrats!!

Glad to hear everything (well almost everything) went well!!
