Hey all I'm doing AWESOME!! Get my drain out today, I feel great. I get to drink Protein Shakes woohoo!!! Feel like if I have one more bowl if chicken broth ill lay an egg. Lol. I have normal energy, I have had 0 Nausea but I do get a feeling like my tummy clenching up if I take too big a drink. Tiny tiny sips are the key. I did feel hungry all yesterday evening but I left my Water st the hotel and was without anything to drink for like 4 hrs so that may have been the cause.....

Minsk pain tho there was a little day of surgery I was pretty doped up.

I gained 5 lbs presumably on water weight because I'd lost 15lbs day of surgery.

Good luck all

hey thanks Hoosergirl I'm so glad i did it and you were totally my inspiration to go to OCC. i found it to be overall a great experience even tho t hey definatley n eed to work something out about the driver airport issues. there was some ppl in the group that chose not to follow the " get your flight out after 3 pm RULE" which was no problem for the rule breakers but forced the ppl that DID follow the rules to have a 5 hour wait at the airport. i'm sorry but that is not right.......

nobody wants to hang around the airport for 5 hours a few days after surgery. and if you will have to wait for others at pick u, they need to let you know wbout that before hand not just leave you standing outside.

besides that tho ( and in the grand scheme of things i guess it's not that big a deal) i had a really great experience. everyone at the hospital as well as the hotel spoke english most spoke very good english and many had lived in the us. i couldn't beleive all THE NURSES spoke good english.

My mom says i met DR Ortiz and spoke at length with him about my surgery. i don't remember i think i was scared out of my mind LOL.

I'm safe and sound recovering at home now. i feel great, no pain, i'm drinking well and feeling awesome

thanks you for your blog, it changed mty life Hoosergirl

Wow...I am not an emotional person but am a little misty-eyed right now! That is fantastic the blog was helpful! Thank you for your kind words!

Yes - totally agree about the long wait times...should not have happened. Very glad you are feeling well and had a positive surgery outcome. Keep drinking and get that protein! The weight will steadily fall off....cannot wait to follow your progress!
