Kay's husband called at 11:30 and she was out of surgery. She had an open RNY with a surprise hiatal herna repair. I stopped to see her on my way home and she was doing well. Kay was going to ask for a pain shot when I left. She was sitting up by herself.

Thank you to everyone for your support. I'm starting to get pretty nervous now. That was excellent advice about putting something under my knees during surgery. I've had back surgery and I cannot lay on my back for any length of time. I will be sure to mention it. Again, thanks for all the support and well wishes.

Best Wishes for a successful surgery and smooth recovery! Weigh to go! I just read another post from someone who just had surgery and the thing that hurts the most is their BACK. And it is PAINFUL, not just uncomfortable. THE LAST THING YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR SURGEON, BEFORE THEY PUT YOU UNDER, IS TO PUT SOMETHING UNDER YOUR KNEES TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF YOUR BACK!!! Time and time again folks are coming out of the O.R. and their back is killing them. It’s because you are lying flat on your back for hours on a hard surface. How long can you do that now? If the surgeon will just put a rolled up blanket under your knees this problem will be eliminated! Got It?... Good…. Problem solved. (Or at least talk it over with him/her).

I wanted to wish you well with your upcoming surgery. I hope that all goes well and that you are up and out and about real soon. I'll bet you are are doing a happy dance accompanied by a bundle of unwanted "NERVES", but don't worry be HAPPY! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Good Luck!
