Woot!!! Long time coming. Spandex here I come! jk, maybe.

I'm going to be in the same place doing the same thing a week from Friday, so very glad you are doing well, and much appreciating your updates as the process goes along!

Good luck and keep us posted!

It has been about what I thought, The facilities, are small bur clean and adequate. I have noticed that they will allow u to not take pain meds if u choose, My advice is to stay on top of the Meds. I ask for mine on schedule and have been ok. The day after surgery was hard but today I have been feeling great. Ready to head home tomorrow. All in all. I am very pleased about my decision. The care has been good, the staff helpful, the comradire among the other patients encouraging. If someone is expecting an American hostpital, and facilities, they will be disappointed maybe scared, lol but that is more because of cultural expectations that care or ability. Or even equipment. I gave not regretted tge surgery or my choice of location. But I have a very adventurous spirit, and a thunk outside the box approach.

Oh and my barium swallow was good no leaks!!!

I get my drain out in the morning and then head home. Woot!

Awesome! I'm so glad you're doing well and are almost ready to head home.

Agreed, it's easier to stay on top of the pain with pain meds on time rather than to wait until it starts hurting.

Congrats on your surgery and wishing you nothing but success and skinny jeans! Welcome to the losers bench!

I'm back in the USA, waiting for my flight at te airport. FYI quiznos will serve u their chicken noodle soup brith only if u ask. . I'm feeling good. Have not regretted my decision even once for a moment.

YAY! now you have to tell me if it was painful or totally icky to get that thing pulled out this morning. ugh, makes me gag thinking about feeling it come out. Not sure how I'll handle it, maybe I'll just pass the hell out and save myself the trauma of it all LOL

I'm so glad you're doing wonderfully well and are back!

It was odd feeling it skake out of u It was particually painful, the very last part is a little bigger at noticeable. Not bad not pleaant just one more little thing that u have to do to move to the losers bench. U will be songladd to get it out u wont care. . I really can't stress enough at this point how happy I am about my choice. I know there is a lot of recovery left. But so far it has been better than I hoped for.

Lol OMG I meant it "wasn't" particularly painful. Not that it was. You will do fine.

Renee -Like pasquini said, it doesn't hurt coming out. Feels really strange and icky but not painful.
