Everything went smoothly yesterday. The people at the outpatient surgery at Northwest Medical Center in Houston were great. The anesthetist Alan was cute and funny. They took great care of me. Last night was restless. I couldn't burp with my cpap on so every once in a while I would have to get up and take off the mask and walk around. I have made use of the pain meds. the pain has not been overbearing but it is hard to cough and I need to cough. I haven't been hungry at all but I have been drinking anyway.

My husband waited on me hand and foot yesterday but has made me get up and move around today and do for myself. He is so wonderfully supportive but always has my best interests at heart so he makes me do things he knows are better for me.

I am on my way!:tt2:

Walking is the best medicine for you right now. It will help you lose the gas and if you get moving now, exercise will come more easily for you. You are now on your journey. Best of luck to you. We are all pulling for you.

A cpap is a positive pressure air flow that keeps my throat open when i sleep. It is for sleep apnea. I hope that I will get rid of it in 50 pounds or so.

My husband keeps kicking my butt about moving. He had me out a lot today and i got a little testy with him whe he made me get out of the car.
