Just got my date-June 3. It's my 29th wedding anniversary too

Got the call this morning from Dr. Robert Davis office. My surgery will be June 3. What a way to Celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary!

It's been a long 3 months getting everything done to qualify for insurance coverage. I can't wait to start my new life.

I had a wonderful anniversary!

Surgery went well. No pain after the first day. Just soreness.

Went home on Thursday.

Swelling is slowly going away. I have NO hunger, even when I smelled my husband's fried chicken and mashed potatoes. This must be how "normal" people feel.

Follow up appointment is Monday.

Dr. Robert Davis is truly one of the best surgeons in the world. I highly recommend him.

Judy,

I had my surgery on the 3rd too! I feel amazing, my swelling is gone and I think the fluids from surgery have been flushed out too. I did have hunger so they moved me to full liquids. I can only get in about 300 calories in 15 waking hours and only 3 ounces of a Protein contains liquid at a time. But with Clear Liquids only I was able to gulp 8 ounces of Water at a time and couldn't get satisfied.

I struggle when I see donuts at the office (working today - military). And when I smell delicious coffee or I could go on and on. Only because it looks and smells so good. I'm so happy you are not having issues with that.

I know we're only 5 days out but can't you just feel in your spirit how amazing our future is going to be?!

Glad you are doing well, RedWilly. I am great too.

I am not counting calories or anything at this point. Just trying to eat and drink often.

I have no pain. Still have some swelling.

Saw Dr.Davis today. Thanked him for giving me this new life. That's how I feel. I have been very emotional since surgery. Guess that is because this was such a big life changing decision.

We are now connected by the date June 3. Which is a very good day!

Judyk,

Yes, forever connected! June 3rd, the day we got new lives. :-) I'm grateful to my doctor as well. Other than seeing him in the hospital to release me, I haven't seen him yet. My first post-op appointment is June 17th.

I'm drinking more. I usually end up between 4-6 cups a day, but I think today was only 3. :-/ It's hard for me and I love Water. Lol
