    OMG - I am so glad to see your post! Sorry to hear you are hurting, but SO RELIEVED you are on the sleeved side! Glad you have had good experience at the OCC...they are fantastic! Great that you are able to drink without pressure.

    Hope your drain removal and barium swallow are non-events. Oh - and that you don't get robbed on the way home from TJ! (Everyone freaks out about how dangerous TJ is and heck, you got robbed at HOME!) Welcome to the sleeved side!

    Your comments about TJ looking like towns in California were the same as my impressions too. Just so happy you are doing well. Hopefully your pain with be much better each day.

    Congratulations Toni Lee!!!! YOU DID IT!
