1 week after surgery!

Jul 13, 2010

Hello Lovelies!!! A week ago today I was getting my awesome surgery! I feel great I’m even back at work today. I’m taking it slow. I just feel a little bit sore but nothing terrible. Dr. Garth and his team did an awesome job!!! They were in and out in no time. This was my first major surgery and it went very well. I honestly thought it was going to be a lot worse but it wasn’t. My hospital experience was great too. I had some pretty awesome nurses! I didn’t have that “what in the world did I do to myself?” moment that so many claim to have. The 2 week liquid diet was so worth it when I heard Dr. Garth say that he enjoys working on dedicated patients like myself. He said this after I asked him if they had weighed me on the bed after I was out. I wasn’t weighed before surgery and since I don’t have a scale at home yet I wanted to know how much I had lost. He wasn’t sure about my exact weight but he said that my liver looked great, it was smaller than average. I’m guessing they can tell a lot by looking at our insides!  He’s is so awesome!!! The best part so far is that I’ve been off my diabetes meds since I came home from the hospital!!! I’ve been having normal glucose levels and that’s cuz I haven’t lost serious weight yet!!! I’m considering that my first WOW moment!!! I’m so happy and grateful cuz that’s the main thing I was hoping for!!! I want to thank everyone for the prayers and support. I’m so grateful for websites like this. I feel like everyone here truly understands. I’ve chosen to tell only certain people in my life about my surgery because I’ve learned that people can be so negative and quick to criticize. I’m glad I didn’t let anyone talk me out of bettering myself!!! Once again thank you all!!! To anyone who is nervous, scared, doubtful..it’s ok. I was there last week. It’s totally normal!!! Just go for it!!! You won’t regret it!!! I’m so proud to be a Davis Doll!!!!
