I HAD SURGERY ON 7/24/07. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS AND WAS HOME THE NEXT DAY. I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH PAIN, JUST REALLY SORE WHEN I COUGHED. I HAD NO GAS PAIN THAT THEY TALK ABOUT. I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PAIN MEDICATION. LOOKING BACK THE HARDEST THING FOR ME WAS DRINKING THE PROTEIN DRINKS. AFTER THE FIRST TWO MONTHS I FOUND A PROTEIN I DIDN'T MIND DRINKING (ANYWHEY TASTLESS PROTEIN) I GET IT AT GNC. I MIX IT WITH SUGAR FREE DRINKS, OATMEAL OR IN COFFEE.
I AM ALMOST 8 MONTHS OUT FROM SURGERY AND SO VERY GLAD I HAD IT. STARTING OUT I HAD ALL THE FEARS I"M SURE EVERYONE ELSE HAS HAD. WILL I MAKE IT THROUGH THE SURGERY? WHAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME AND I DON'T LOOSE? I CAN SAY NOW THAT I WOULDN'T GO BACK FOR ANYTHING, I HAVE LOST 130 LBS SINCE THE DAY AFTER SURGERY. I HAVE 47 MORE LBS TO LOOSE UNTILL I REACH MY PERSONAL GOAL OF 150 LBS AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY I WILL REACH MY NORMAL WEIGHT.
DR. HORNBOSTEL AND HIS NURSES ARE GREAT JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY. BOTHWELL HOSPITAL IS FINE AS WELL.
