Jenn,

I used to see you post all the time and then I left the pre-op list for

awhile. Just saw this...So glad to hear you have had your surgery and are

doing well. Way to go kiddo!

Safe journey,

Safely on the other side!!!!

Hi!

When you have an NG tube post op, you aren't allowed anything (water, etc)

by mouth. This was Cat's experience when she had her open RNY in '97.

She was amazed to see me being wheeled into my room with no tube AND a cup

of ice chips in my hand. *grin*

Yes. It's one of the best things about the MGB. IMNSHO.
