GrandmaSerenity 5 Posted July 1, 2014 I am so ready for this to happen. It seems every time I get excited, there is a hicup or speed bump to slow something down. I am holding my breath until it is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ambpete 26 Posted July 9, 2014 My first update for you all. I Had my surgery at the 7:30am yesterday and took about 3 hours total. I started walking 3 ) Hours after my surgery. So far I am feeling very I am feeling pretty good. Around 8 Am I will go down and have it checked for leaks. If it's good I will start phase 1 diet today. My mouth is very dry an d can't wait to have a drink of something. Very little pain so far, but I'm sure that could change. If all goes as planned, I will be home Thursday in the afternoon. I hope all my other buddies are doing well. I will update tomorrow!! 1 hcabrooks197 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
