A little update: Feeling much better. A little crampy still, but I have been D free most of the day. I snacked on canned pumpkin, white sweet potatoes, and bananas all day.

Hey everyone! Hope this is the right board to post to. I have an upcoming surgery (partial thyroidectomy) at the Celeveland Clinic (Marymount). Has anyone stayed there?
