I also had Dr Ren yesterday 9/23 I was her first. the Pre Op staff at NYU were really good. I love my surgeon she is great. I also had a lot of fatty and a hernia that she fixed so I have 5 incisions with Stars and Moons haha. I had some pain when breathing in and they gave me 12 cc of morphine and I got nothing out of that so they tried something else. after my 3rd cocktail they gave me something that was Wow it really zonked me. My worst aftereffect of the surgery is my voice. they had a hard time getting the tube down and I think they nicked a cord on the way down. I got the liquid Vicodin I had some last night but just sore. I am walking alot and drinking alot of liquids. I feel great. No nausea I am farting a lot but other then that just basic soreness.

Well this is it. I go in at 6am. Hoping all goes well

Ha Ha So true about the moods. I started my Pre Op on the 10th. I am being sliced and diced on 23 Sept. and just had my pre admission testing done today. I'm Excited, Scared out of my mind and happy at the same time. I had to do 6 months for the insurance co and in that time I dropped 20 pounds. I am very looking forward to solid food again. Rgds Jon
