I had surgery 11 months ago. I hated the Lovenox injections but I had to do it to minimize the potential for blood clots. I developed bruises and it took several months for them to disappear. I didn't have any knots at the injection site but I did have some knots at the surgery ports. These took forever to heal.

I had my surgery 11 months ago. Your weight should be dropping like a lead brick. I found that I had no hunger so it was easy to let the pounds melt off. There is a lot of hassle at the beginning. It took me 6 months to reach a happy state.

I underwent Bariatric Surgery 11 months ago. I lost 20 pounds pre-surgery and 80 pounds post-surgery for a total weight loss of 100 pounds. I wrote a short article (How I Survived Bariatric Surgery) about my experience thus far. The article is at http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

I have also included a before and after picture at http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Operation.jpg
