yes, I am still alive

[lamsunshine 2]

I just wanted to let everyone that I am up and kicking. I had my surgery last Thursday. I was just released from the hospital yesterday. They kept me longer then normal because I lived so far away, but I am finally home. I'm happy to say I have my Sleeve after working on it for almost a year. The first night in ICU, I thought I was going to die and was crying " what did I do, I really thought I made the wrong decision" , but then the next morning everything seem to get better except I had upset stomach, and when I had to drink that stuff for the leak test, well lets just say radiology did not like me when I left there. lol Now the only problem I'm having is coughing it hurts where the incisions are located. Oh and get this there was another lady who had the surgery right before me, she was the same age as me, and her initials were hm, mine are lm. They kept getting us confused the entire time she was there. That was scary. At one point they told me I had my gallbladder out, I was like "WHAT", no one told me that. Of course they had me confused with the other lady (Hope). Well I have rambled on enough. Have a nice day.

ALL RIGHT LISA!!! :thumbup1:I was wondering why you hadn't updated yet. How are you feeling now? Better I hope. It truly does get better each day. My incisions are looking so good now, I can barely see any scars in two areas.

Well God bless Lisa and I will talk to you soon. Get some rest.

Deb, I'm feeling much better now. I was up and walking around the day after my surgery. Today I'm making a trip to Walmart, yipee. My incisions are gross. I have a weak stomach, good thing my mom does not and has experience with these things. How are you doing? What a stage are you on now? Clear liquids is killing me. lol How are you doing on your weight loss? I have missed all of you guys so much.
