Just wanted to let everyone know that all is well. Had surgery today at Florham Park Surgery Center with Dr Alexander Abkin. Went in at 7 for prep. Was in OR at 9 am and out by 10am. Feeling like normal so far. I opted for the tab block medication. Those darn needles were long LOL. Dr prescribed percocet for pain if needed. I have four incisions and got the realize band. Nurses and doctors were very nice. Finally I am on the other side :-)

Sorry I meant to say tap block meds. Also reason why I didnt go into OR soon is because someone else's surgery took longer than expected.

Glad everything went well! Now, rest! We'll chat with you tomorrow.

Thanks PrettyThick1

Welcome to the other side, I'm 4 days post op so I'm very new at this. Remember to take it easy on yourself and to stay on top of the pain meds.
