Made it through the surgery, Finally on 9/12. It was a long 3 months of check off lists to get through. I have seen fabulous results with others and was so very excited. Surgery was great, I stayed positive right up until the versed took affect, When I awoke in recovery, I could feel something inside was different. The first 48 hrs was horrible...The pain from the gas was horrendous. I walked all night in my hospital room.I kept saying to myself what have you done? Well I am just about to go into pod 4 and I am feeling much better.Lots of rest and sleep helps and walking... I had heard about the gas pains but never imagined them to be that painful. The only way I could pass the gas was to vomit from the nausea. The usual drugs werent working for the nausea, so the doc gave me a scopalamine patch that you wear for motion sickness on the ships. Worked like a charm. Has anyone else experienced that much pain Post-op?

My husband Said the same thing, are you going to leave me when you get skinny? Really? After 24 yrs Why would he say that. My response was, If I was going to leave you, I would have already done it. I am not with him because I am Fat. I am with him because I Love him. It angers me to think he feels I am not attractive to other men because I am fat, and thats why I am still with him. I told him, " Hey News Flash" Other men flirt with me all the time, I am still here with you. Come on Husbands and wives, Don't put your own insecurities on us, Where getting ready for major surgery. think about it....
