This was a piece of (sugar free) Cake!

Everything went as planned! I arrived at 7:30, they wheeled me back at 9:10 and I was awakened at 10:00. No gas pain, no port pain and feeling fine. I do have some gas in my belly but that is working its way out! I have a bit of a sore/scratchy throat form the intubation but that too is tolerable I can tell some one has been pushing my insides around but no pain. I did take one dose of the pain meds when I got home but I don't think I'll need anymore. We'll see. The only problem was the IV team. They had to stick me 6 times to get a line inserted. I have big veins that are close to the top. All in all a GREAT DAY. It has begun!

Thanks to all who offered up kind thoughts and prayers.

Congrats on what sounds like a great surgery!! I couldn't imagine being poked 6 times; I hate needles, a whole bunch. I think I was most afraid of them!

Either way, great to hear that surgery went well. Take it slow and get your rest. You'll be losing in no time. :cursing:
