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

Carol had her surgery on Dec. 20th. She is up and walking and seems to be in good spirits. Everything went well during her surgery. I went to see her yesterday and she looked great. Keep thinking good thoughts for her.
