Back Surgery Complete

Went in for the back surgery yesterday and all went well.
I was scheduled for the surgery at 10:00am, but the one they did before me ended up taking a LOT longer than expected, so they didn't come get me until 2:30pm. Everything went ok though, doc said I did fine and I was able to get up and move around about an hour after surgery so they let me come home.
I am doing pretty good. No real pain so far to speak of. I have been up and about, even walked up and down our street this morning, and feel just fine. There is a feeling of pressure on my lower back, but it isn't really painful at all. I have been taking Vicadin every 5 to 6 hours though.
Anyway, all seems well, I feel fine, so hopefully I will have a speedy recovery, and can get back to the last steps I need to have the WLS.
I am hoping to get everything done and have the WLS in mid September, right after the Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire. I figure it will be real close to faire before I can get in, so I might as well wait until after faire to have it.

July Update

Well, I went to the psychiatrist again yesterday. It went well. I like her the more I go to see her. I know someone else that is going through the program, and called them today to tell them to go to her for the psych eval.

I also stopped by the bariatric center to get weighed. I was still at the same weight as last time I went. I didn't lose anymore, but at least I didn't gain any back!

I go in for the back surgery on Friday. Hopefully this goes well and I recover quickly and can finish the last steps to have the WLS soon afterwards. It will be nice to be able to get out and exercise after the WLS without being in pain all the time.

Although it really has nothing to do with the WLS, I will post when I am able to let everyone know how the back surgery went.
