Hi Carol--my name is Denise Reuter, and we had surgery the same day! I had mine at BTC in Belvidere, Il. I had an open RNY by Dr. Eric Sclessinger. How are you feeling? I'm finding out that a lot of my eating problems were--and are--behavioral! Like they say, it's a tool. My dad and my son picked me up from the hospital, and the first thing they do? They stop in McDonald's in Marengo! I thought even the smell of food would make me sick...I'm still craving a Filet-o-Fish!
Don't make my crazy mistake--I decided to buy Fannie May Sugar Free Fruit Drops at the Jewel Store today (yes, I am out driving 8 days before I'm supposed to!). One candy led to another, and I've been in the bathroom ever since! So much for my solstice from pooping!
I stopped taking Tylenol today. I still hurt, but I do't hurt that much. Even the first day I was home (December 23), I was scooting around on a chair, doing dishes sitting down!
I am bored, and I'm looking forward to going back to work. I hope this note made you chuckle but finds you well!
Denise
