OMG!!! Thanks for all of the well wishes and support, it is great!!!! @jayhawkjess33: My recovery has been ok, i get better and better (soreness) everyday. I am back at work at only 1 week out and doing fine. My hunger is gone, I dont crave anything, and I have been able to keep my Protein and Water down, I used the NewWhey protein shots, grape is the best, got them at walmart, 3.8 oz has 42 protein. They are not the greatest but the less i have to drink the better!!! @jewels1227: I promise you this will be the best thing you ever do. I have talked about it with my husband for 2 years, and just decided in november to get it done. I had to wait a few months to come up with the money, but i have a feeling this is going to change my life!!!! @brandymarie81: I had my surgery done by Dr. Andrew Hargroder at Womans hospital in baton rouge Louisiana THANKS agian for all of the support!!!!!!
