Got the "official" date! Plane tickets booked, and hotel for the first night down there. I don't think I want to spend 3 nights in the hospital....even though it's free.

Excited, nervous, and a little bit scared.....but I've been waiting for what feels like forever to get up the nerve to book the surgery. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Congrats.....I'm excited for you and I'm wishing you the best

November will be here in no time!

Everything is all lined up now, but the waiting is killing me! I've been researching this for over a year and can't wait!! I've been going through the forums and making sure that I have everything that I need....

I know you must be very excited! Nov 3 is just around the corner. Congrats!!

I am in the booking stage right now and looks like the middle of Dec. Mine is with Dr. Kelly also, and feeling the same things you are....excitement, concern, a little scared, etc. GOOD LUCK to you and please let me know how your experience goes!

So exited for you Congrats. Keep us posted GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS

Just a quick update... had my surgery in the evening of Nov. 3rd. I don't really remember a whole lot, other than switching beds a few times before getting into the operating room. I woke up in my room, and fell back asleep for a few more hours...i think...then woke up to painful gas and naseous. They gave me some meds for pain and naseous and I slept again for the rest of the night. I've been very tired since the surgery and still have bouts of naseous. I have gotten sick a few times, and that was kind of scary.....but I'm ready to go home. The after care has been good, and I've met with Dr Kelly a few times since the surgery. I'm pretty tired right now but I'll post more later. Heading home tommorrow

Back home and so happy to be here! Doing much better today. I've been finding that warm tea feels really good and doesn't make me bloated or give me heart burn. All i can say is that i'm so happy to be home, even though there's snow on the ground.....can't wait to crack open a can of chicken broth tomorrow and stay in my pjs and sip away!!!!
