Re: just out of hospital

[Guest guest]

Hi Felicity

What a surprise I havent been on this site for quite awhile and your

post was the first that I clicked on to. I too had my hellers wrap

at Monash Medical last May. It has almost been one year . I went

through alot of problems with the waiting list at Monash and after a

story through the Herald Sun I had surgery three days later. My

surgeon was Dr Cashin who did your surgery? I have tried to read

back but cannot locate your previous posts. I am glad to hear that

you are doing well and i know how frustrating it is waiting 6 weeks

post op for your first meal - but you will get there. Anyhow I am

planning to visit this web site more often now as I have more time

on my hands and it is definately a great support group.

6 weeks for a real meal??? I have not heard that before. I was under the impression that it was 2 to 3 weeks. What are the rest of the group's experiences on this - post surgery?

Dear Felicity,

How lovely it was to hear from you and know that everything has gone well. You must be SO relieved to be back home. Please take it easy and give yourself the chance to heal well and recover.

Best wishes and love to you from Ann in England xxx
