Today is the day. I wish I could say I am as calm as a cucumber but that is not the case. I have been preparing since Feb for this and am so ready for it. I just have that looming page of risks I had to initial in the back of my head now since last week which I always knew were the risks, but as it got close and I had to formally acknowledge them its got my nerves going crazy today. Praying for my peace of mind and guidance for my surgeon and anesthesiologist today. Also praying for everyone else going through surgery today too.

I am out. Surgery was completed at 11:30 yesterday morning. I was in a lot of pain immediately when I woke up but that's slowly subsided. I do do have a drain but it is not bugging you too much. I have been up to walk a few times and that has been the hardest part so far as it feels like my muscles need to stretch and that hurts. My few hours I'll be able to do the barium swallow test and hopefully then be able to drink some water. Fingers crossed. Thank you all for your positive comments and thoughts and you guys are the best.

That would be fine! My dr is Dr. Maccoll.
