Happy Camper 266 Posted November 5, 2011 Hi Sandy and all, I had my procedure Tuesday and all went well. I was released on my birthday 2 days post surgery. We just got home after driving for almost 4 hours. Sandy good to hear you are feeling well. I think you have much more energy than I do. I have been walking twice a day for about 30 minutes. I have a JD drain and apparently my surgeon decided to use the new black staple gun on me ( not sure why) and removed my excess from my right side needing to stitch the stomach muscle so I am very sore there but feel good otherwise. I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks and seeing the weight loss. Stay strong all! Sandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
