hope everything went well <3

Thinking of you. I was sleeved today as well. I hope your doing well.

Hope all went well..looking forward to reading your updates..prayers for a speedy recovery

You'll do find. By the time you read this you will be in recovery and have your room, so..

I had to report for mine 7 AM (getting up at 5 AM after fasting the previous 24 hours was ...new). In the hospital surgical waiting room they had to put up signs reminding patient's family members that everyone in the room has not eaten, resist the urge to bring in that Macdonald's Egg McMuffin (I would have added that, they might get attacked).

The surgery went smoothly, but I had 3 roommates in my 4 day stay. The Hosp. didn't have a family or day room ready. The first night as I am chewing ice chips, my roomate's (in with leg injury) family brings in pizza. The second day they bring in subs AND pizza for lunch. I don't usually wish anything bad on anyone but, after lunch he bought lunch (and a little part of dinner) up... I guess prayer DOES work...

Good luck....I discovered some new words when the nurses came to get me to walk within hours of the surgery...you probably will also.... it's just 'part of the healing process'.

hey actnup

wow, surgery is over, and you are still around to listen to us talk about it. Really not taking this lightly, this has been a scary venture, i don't know if you ever had surgery before so this could have been extra difficult. This is quite an undertaking, but a great step towards happiness but more importantly good health.

this is a very hard yet bold step you took. i don't think "observers", family and friends realize what a big step forward this is, what a hard decision you made, your new eating situations that will lead you to a new and healthier and happier you.

so, try and shed your tears - you might hit some little bumps in the road, but remember - you'll get over that big hump (hope i said that right!)

good luck with your journey ahead

best wishes

That sounds like it was difficult. I had a room with four people but at least they were all Bari patients with the same Protein drink lol
