Hey, I really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers from all! Things did go well, I'm feeling good, and if it wasn't for a big gas bubble in my stomach that I can't shake, I'd be feeling great. The throat has been the worst of it. When I talk too much (easy for me to do), I get sort of worn down.
I don't want to ruin anyone's lunch, but here's a photo with some of the surgery results. It's a little more than I expected, but a lot less than doing the open heart thing. They have told me that I can be back on the bike in two weeks (I'm counting from the surgery).
