Hi everyone. I'm glad to tell you that all went well on Wednesday. I now am the proud owner of a Swedish band. My surgeon said everything went perfect and there were no compliations. I stayed overnight one night at the hospital...I can't imagine going home any sooner. I really liked the medicine they gave me. :-)

I'm feeling so much better already- just after two days home. It's amazing how fast we heal. I haven't used any pain meds since yesterday- I'm sore but not in pain. The only thing that drives me crazy is anytime I think about eating broth, I get queesy. If I think about eating a sandwich- no queesy! I'm on Clear Liquids for another few days, and so far really haven't been hungry at all. I have to force myself to drink and to eat a popsicle once and ahwile. The gas is subsiding slowly, too. I never did get any sharp pains from it, just a consitant litenly of burps and well, you know. I also have been going #2, which I am suprised at...with a ll liquids I didn't think I'd have an BMs. They are more like baby ones, though. Did anyone else have them? Weird!

Well, I am off to shower. That is the highlight of my day. Thanks to everyone for their support!
