welcome to the group

always nice to see a new smiling face

don't live in Seattle, but i thought i'd still say hi

surgery on wednesday

little nervous/scared/excited???

many/most/all of us go through different emotions before and after surgery

prepare yourself for a mental and physical rollercoaster ride

its all good

you hopefully will breeze through surgery, recovery et al

right after surgery, get up soon as possible and walk, walk, walk - no marathon yet - but walking is good, breaks up the gas too

drink, sip as much Water as possible

sip very slowly for now

water is soooo important to all sleevers

at the beginning stage - water is more important than even proteins!!!!

you might have some normal issues like gas, being really tired and "maybe" you'll be alittle naustious too :ph34r:

but things do usually get better day to day

continue to read the boards and get plenty of good info

post your questions, comments

as time passes we'll enjoy seeing "less and less" of you

good luck on wednesday

you are on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life

take care

speedy recovery

kathy
