 Hi all!  I have been home since yesterday, very blessed that the surgery was uneventful.  My family was concerned that the doctor would relieve me so soon but they all agreed that he knows what he's doing.

The worst part about the surgery has been the dry heaves.  I know this is being caused by the anesthsia and they want us to cough up all that gunk.  However, sometimes I cough so hard that I have to hold a pillow to my tummy in fear of me popping a stich.

Over all, I am doing well.  I want to thank all of you who share your experiences.  It did help to know what to expect.  You all are great!

Newbie to the Loser's Bench- Yeah!
