The surgery went well. I went in The oporating room like 730 . Then the doctor said to the anestegiologist hey marlene is really nervous can she get a little something to calm her and I was out. I ony have to spot one up hi in my belly and the other in my belly button. My doctor does the single insision in ur belly button.I was gonna stay and decided I wanted to go home. Last night was rough. Today I am making sure to get up and waoknaround carefully. I have the week off and next too if I need it.I really am doing well. Thanks

That's good hope you start feeling a lot better I know its tough to move around those first few days. Just make sure to keep walking around I would walk every hour for 5-10 min and I think that helped me recover very well. Keep us posted on your recovery.

Congratulations on your surgery and quitting smoking! I quit smoking right before my surgery and it is the best thing I have ever done. I am a little over a year smoke free! A lot of positive changes all at once - you can do it!! Good Luck to you!
