Dr. Davis did a great job. I was home by 6:30 and haven't had any problems. I have been sore by no pain -pain since I got home. I have walked around the pool several times and mopped the kitchen floor.

My husband has done everything. Fixing my broth, getting my drinks, everything. If you live in Houston I would highly recommend Dr. Garth Davis and University General Hospital - they took such good care of me.

I have had bowel movements and it is sore wiping. Reaching back. That might be gross but that's the worst part so far. I keep trying to keep the three dogs off my lab, that a struggle too. Everyone wants to sit by mom. I am happy I made the decision and followed through with it and I am blessed to have a husband who is so supportive. Our insurance excludes bareactic sugery so we were cash pay. I couldn't have done it without his support.

You mopped the floor!!!! Glad to hear you're doing so well.

Carol (surgery 1/15--on Optifast--bleh)

Now I have to figure out how to do the ticker..he he...Hope I lose a pound or two. I only had to do four days of liquid diet. I blended frozen fruit and put in my "shakes" as they call them. Meal Replacements. I hated that part.

I know if I did ok after surgery you will. I had 54 myself and was 235 the day before surgery. Keep in touch.
