Day of surgery--January 24th

This post is dated today because I didn't have my blog yet; but it is from the actual day of surgery.

Hi all. Just an update for all my loved ones.  The surgery went perfectly yesterday.  My doctor and his team absolutsy spoil us.  Although I cannot drink all day today, they will start me on ice chips tomorrow and I will do a barium swallow test to check for any leaks.  I do have some considerable pain with the incision on the left side right under my ribcage because that is where they removed 80% of my stomach thru.  I met three fantastic friends at the hotel pick up point, one of whom's uncle is here with her and himself had the surgery last April. He has been a wealth of information and sort of took us under his wing .  I am having a hard time sleppong tonight because I was rather drugged up most of the day.  Anyway, I hope you are all well and I will send this email in the morning on the real computer in my room.
With love,
Lisa
