:thankyou:Thank you all for your kind thoughts and well wishes. The op went well. I was first on the list, just ahead of Fuze (Amanda). Originally meant to be second on list but number 1 did not show:hmm:. Apart from feeling tired, I have had very little pain, just a little feeling of bloating in my lower tummy. Came home yesterday. Officially on the losing side. Am so very happy to be saying that.
