I am having problems updating my information, so I am trying it another way. Today I am about 14 days post op., and I am feeling wonderful. Most of the soreness has passed, and it is going great. The surgery was fast and easy (only about 90 min.)- and even included the removal of my gallbladder! The nurses, doctors and caregivers at the Hospital were great - they encouraged me every step of the way. Thanks for all the messages of goodwill,prayers, and Godspeed to you all. I will try to get my before picture posted soon...I will have my first Doctor appt. post surgery on the 24th of June - that is when I will find out what I have lost so far. Best wishes to those coming up on surgery. Toodles. Deb Keil
