Well I did it! I can’t believe I did it, but I did. It’s still unbelieveable to me for some reason, DUH! You just had major surgery that will actually CHANGE your life and it still hasn’t sunk in. I went in to the hospital August 27, 2008 @ 0900. Had the surgery the next morning at 0830. The doctors and nurses were fantastic there! I loved them! Tomorrow I go back to see my surgeon to get my stitches taken out and I’m leaving a cake at the nurses station where I was admitted.

The surgery itself went well. However, a piece of equipment malfunctioned and the doc had to go in and sew me up in there by hand so he had to beat me up a bit more. I have a couple of nasty bruises going on. Therefore, I have a little more pain than most patients. I don’t however, have any trouble with eating or drinking so that’s good. I’m terrified of Dumping Syndrome! I DO NOT want that shit! I’ve already lost 10 pounds! I can’t believe it! In a week I have lost 10 pounds! That’s so crazy to me! I can’t wait to start feeling kinda normal again so I can go to the gym and just all around feel better.  My hormones are kinda acting up. I cry at nothing now but I’ve tried to keep it at a minimal. Even just typing that makes me want to start. Man I hope this doesn’t get worse (the hormones thing). Even though I know better.

Well I’m hurting again and about to cry so I will end this now.
