MissK, how are you? Just wondering how your surgery went, the two days in the hospital, and having mom and dad caring for you.

Hope you are feeling good, little pain, and you are on your way to a full recovery!

Take care,

Hi Kate

Thanks so much for asking; I have been a little absent from the forums.

I coped well with hospital, apart from the god-awful gas pain. I am currently being driven insane by some awful sensation that feels like my stomach is in my throat, apparently this is caused by swelling but I have made an appointment with my surgeon for Wednesday just in case it hasn't passed. It's making me miserable, I hope it passes soon.

How are you?

Hi There!

Sorry you're having some pain... all this talk about pain from others makes me a little nervous. :crying: But the "it was worth it" comments help me get through it!:biggrin:

I hope your pain goes away by the time your appointment comes on Wednesday... It seems to be that pains "come and go" for some people but it is always good to check.

I have two more days of the pre-op diet. I've done a pretty good job at it. Egg drop Soup has helped me. Atleast I can have "some" variety not just shakes. I find myself looking really far forward on food though... can't wait until I can eat again!

So.. surgery is on Wednesday for me.. need to be there at 5:45am. My mom is taking me in. Hopefully I will go home the same day but it just depends. I'll just take it as it comes. The hardest part will be getting through the next two days at work... I have so much to do in those days and it seems everyone wants a piece of me right now. I work in the law department of a large company.

I hope you feel better soon!!!:ohmy:

Katie

I'm glad your mum is going with you, it's nice to have someone there for moral support.

Don't be scared; I have had various issues (gas pain, now this throat thing, etc) BUT I don't regret having the surgery yet and I'm sure you won't either - it wasn't meant to be easy, but we are strong and we can do this.

Do you have MSN messenger or AIM? I see you have Yahoo, but that's the only one I don't have. I'd love to have you on my contact list.

Be strong Miss Kate, you can do this :biggrin:

Hi MissK,

48 more hours and I should be done and home!! Atleast I hope I go home the same day!

I think there are just "things" to go through, the gas pain, etc. all part of healing. I guess like childbirth they say it is the easiest pain to forget (I suppose.. I haven't had a child yet!). Once the weight comes off we'll think.. "pain, what pain?"

I have AOL Instant Messenger too.. mskatiesd Or, you can find me on Windows Live Messenger via katiezunich@yahoo.com

Have a great tomorrow (as it is tomorrow there!).
