Well today I am one week post-op and am doing great. Sorry that it took so long for me to get on, but my computer chair is very uncomfortable! Let me start of f by thanking all of you for you advise your well wishes and the information that you have shared with me to help me get to the other side. The surgery was Lap and 2.5 hours. The surgeon said that with the exception of some scar tissue, everything went as planned. I spent 2 days in the hospital and on my second day home I was out shopping. I have 5 small scars and feel like this is the best thing that I could have done for myself. My first doctors appointment is on the 30th and I will update on my status more at that time, thanks again to you all and a very special thanks to my angel DEBRA McCLOUD who has been truly and angel through this whole process!
