Just a quick note to everyone to let you know that I will not be able to be on much for a few days. I had some shortness of breath and chest/back pain this afternoon. After spending the day int he ER we found out that I have several small pulmanary embolis (sp?)or blood clots in my lungs. I will have to go in for Lovenox shots twice a day and also I will be on Cumidin (sp?) for at least threee months. I am the only patient that my doc has ever treated for this outpatient, but he is confident that because I am not having any more symptoms that I will be ok. Please pray for me that I will come through this with flying colors. Up until now I have had absolutley NO problems. I haven't even had to take Tylenol since friday morning. ~~~Amy LAP RNY 08-05-03 -12 pounds

Hi all! I made it! I am on the otherside. I feel wonderful. Why didn't I do this years ago? I came through with only one small complication. For some reason I am getting very sick on the Boost Breeze. It won't go down and it won't come back up. It just sits there and I am miserable for about an hour. My surgeon told me to forget about it and concentrate on getting the protien in starting next week when I move up to full liquids and soft foods. My surgeon is amazed at me. I was up and walking laps around the coridors of the floor at around 10 hours post op. My one thing I would suggest to someone having this surgery is every time you get up to go potty walk a lap. That is what I did and I was released a day earlier than any of his other patients! I drank juice (half juice half water), hot tea ( a GODSEND for my upset tummy), broth and I went through a heck of alot of ice chips. I took some liquid vicodin to sleep last night and I have no pain at all this morning. I have taken some liquid tylenol for a slight headache though. I can't thank you all enough for all the support. My family is amazed at all the well wishes I recieved.~~~Amy LAP RNY 08-05-03
