Well I'm home! Surgery went fine. Minimal pain just can't get my oxygen up. I was discharged Friday 22nd (surgery 2/20) and literally at the front door when I got very dizzy and they ended up readmitting me for a day. I was sent home on oxygen this time. So no other complications. Just plugging thru the normal healing pain. Blessings to those having surgery this week. Count me ON THE LOSING SIDE!!!

Glad you swooned before leaving the hospital and not when you were home on your own or something! Here's to a speedy recovery!

I just realized looking at my ticker I'm 80 pounds from goal...that sounds so much better tan 101!!!!

Yaaaaay!!!!! Congrats!

Do ya'll think someone is trying to tell me not to have this surgery? Got up this morning and there is 2 inchs of snow, weather advisory. I have congestion in my bronchial tubes, so doubled up on my Keflex. Does anyone know if this will hurt me? Schools are closed, county offices, airport closed. Having to drive to Dallas.

Let me know your thoughts, we are leaving in 30 minutes with extra blankets and lots of prayers.

You have worked too hard to getup here...I think of this as just another challenge. Not the last one you will face but just another chapter in your story! Good luck!

Good luck this week to all of you!!

Thank you, I'm so nervous and anxious, I'm waiting for the surgeon to call for my surgery time. I can't believe that this is really happening.

Good luck everyone! I'm 2 weeks out today and I already feel my life changing for the better! You are all on your way!

My thoughts are with you! I hope to hear from you in a few days on "the other side"!

Well I'm right there with all of y'all ....surgery Wednesday 27th... Thought of backing at sooosny times ... But for now it's on...bags are packed and nervous as can be.... I wish the best to everyone who has surgery this week. Keep us up to date on your process.

Ok, tomorrow morning at 10:00am, have to leave house at 5:00am because of rush hour traffic in Boston. Really nervous. All prayers excepted. Just hoping my bad trachea holds out long enough don't want to wake up on a vent.

Good for you. I can't wait to get my surgery date :)

So my arrival time is for 11:30 A.M, I am so nervous.... I'm finishing up some laundry and cleaning, so when I come home my house is nice and clean. Today has been somewhat of a tough day, I am doing the liquid diet and I have been craving food. Lol. Like anything at all. I've been strong and had only my clear liquids, chicken broth, water, sugar free juices. But it has been tough, after I get everything ready, off to bed.I just want to say Good luck to everyone who is having your surgery tomorrow and everyone else who is having within the next week. Its been a long journey but we're almost there. :)
