I'm out of surgery! :scared0: Make room on the losers bench for ME!

I am out of surgery and feeling much better here at the recovery house. I got a nice warm shower and new dressings and just sitting in and getting comfortable.

I met Pat and Laurie from the forums here and both are just great! Hi girls!!!

Dr. Almanza was great and I am very pleased with my stay here. The food smells SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING downstairs... but I can't have any. Boo! lol We have Clear liquids today and tomorrow FINALLY we can have some broth. I can not wait!

My idea of a good meal right now... lets see... a biscuit with a touch of butter (craving it!), some salted noodles, and a little chicken breast marinated with some italian dressings. YUM! Can you tell I am hungery? lol

I know a lot of people said they weren't hungry at all after surgery... but I am starving it seems. The hunger pains could be gas tho. ha I had a popsicle and it was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. I am ready for some salty broth.

When I get home and I am comfortable, I will detail all about my experience here. It was great and I would highly recommend Dr. Almanza, Dr Betancourt and their staff.

Welcome to the other side. I'm so happy that things went so well for you!

WOW! sounds like everything went great. Congrats!! Looking forward to mine on Wed. the 10th. A little anxious, as I'm having my gallbladder removed also:001_unsure:, here in northern CA. Just doing alot of praying and hoping for a smooth recovery. Congrats on gettin over to the "other side". Have a good and safe trip back to the states :001_unsure:

CONGRATULATIONS CAMom! It's so great to know your doing so well.

up2me-Best wishes on your upcoming surgery.

Congrats! I hope that mine goes as well as yours in two days. I am looking forward to it and not the least bit anxious. I am really ready to start this new adventure. I am sure it will be painful but worth it in the end. See you on the other side on Monday!

Congrats on your upcoming sugery. I had mine 1-19 and the pain was nit bad, only needed pain meds 1-2 times during the 2nd day, what ever they give you during sugery has a lasting effect.

Thanks everyone! I am home and feeling great really. I am down 10lbs in 4 days and I feel good. My incisions look good. I am spraying em and cleaning them often and taking my antibiotics! I can't believe I am actually on the other side now. :biggrin0: I feel so so good! Thanks again!
