Thank you everyone for your support...now 5 days out and back home in Texas. Everything I was nervous about worked out wonderfully. The staff at OCC was great..the facility was great, and TJ was so much better than I would have imagined...at least were we stayed. I do have to say, traveling from Texas, pre-op, and surgery all in the same day was alot...I am not sure I would have suggested that...but it gave me less time to worry, and more time recover. I have had no nausea, no very, very little gas, and no real discomfort. I have been so careful to follow instructions " to the T", so I think that has helped me. My incision sites seem to be the most discomfort but very bearable. I am holding back from jumping on the scale every 5 min, just because I know that there is still some swelling involved. So all in all, I am thrilled with decision, and everyday seems to be getting better. Thanks again everyone for your support and I can imagine that I will continue to be looking for support not just for the physical stuff, but the emotional too, which is just as powerful at times! thanks all~
