BlaqBeary 23 Posted February 22, 2011 Hello to Everyone My surgery was Feb. 18th and discharged the 21st. Home at 1230pm. Today I am truly happy with the decision I've made to be a more healthier woman. I have taken control of my life. The surgery was a success. I hardly had any pain; a lil discomfort, yes, but no pain. I begin a new journey for the rest of my life and give thanks to God and to Dr. Taller at Pacific Bariatric, San Diego and the pre-op team, pre-surgical & surgical team and nurses on the 7th floor at Scripps Mercy Hospital. You all ROCK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats to you. I had the surgery on the same day as you and feel the same way. I'm still getting the hang of using the tool, but it seems to be going in the right direction.

BlaqBeary 23 Posted February 22, 2011 Thank you. I just can't believe how good I actually feel. With the fluids I'm intaking are pretty good. Getting use to that is a real challenge. My Mom made a huge, I mean huge glass bowl of jell-o (sugar free). I have chicken broth given to me from the hospital to take home. I have plenty of ice and today I am beginning Protein. The days to come is where I find my inner self. Good luck to you. That is sooo awesome.. I do feel the same as you I am soo glad that I had the opportunity to have this sugery.
