| less than 24 hours to go!
I am ready. Got my post-op supplies in hand. I've lost 6 pounds in the last two weeks in preparation for the surgery. Got things at work under control. Went and got a nice 90 minute massage last night. I am mentally and physically ready.
See you on the other side!

| All done - good to go!
Back home - piece o' cake! Pain is a 1-2 at most. Got a little gas pain, not too bad at all. Nurse said it all went perfect.
And so it begins! | |

They wouldn't let me walk home. 
I feel really good now. No real pain, and gas is very minor at most.
Hope tomorrow is even better!
I am fired up about this!  | |

Great!
You may be a little uncomfortable tonight and tomorrow, but that'll quickly pass. Indeed, I slept fine my first night back home.
I think you're really going to enjoy this process...

OK, my final post on this thread...
It's the end of Day 5, and this surgery was pretty much a non-event. I hung around the house on Wednesday, and felt just fine. Stomach muscles were a little sore, kind of like I had done a bunch of situps or something. Nothing approaching pain, just a little muscle twinge.
On Thursday, felt about the same. A few gas bubbles, felt the left shoulder and neck thing, but it didn't both me. Nothing remotely worthy of pain medicine. So I decide to drive the 200 miles to our beach house for the weekend. No sweat.
Friday-Sunday, just hanging at the beach. Long walks every day. Protein shakes and liquified low sodium soup. No pain, no hunger, no nothing. Had an offer to go offshore fishing today, which I passed on. Didn't want to push my luck to far. But I really think I could have handled it. It was a beautiful calm day, and I am kind of kicking myself for not going.
Got home tonight - no sweat. Work tomorrow. Same as always.
P.S. I weighed 292 on June 11. Weighed 286 the morning of surgery on June 18. Weighed 278 tonight when I got home! I believe I am on my way!!
