What should I expect after surgery..tell me about your experience
GOOD LUCK!! U will be fine. After surgery I was fine a little sore and tired. Also i found keeping a pillow on my tummy and ice felt so good. i also could not sleep in my bed 4 3 weeks couch just felt so much better. The third day and so on felt pretty bad but by the end of the week you should feel lots better. The first day I thought there is NO WAY ppl go back 2 work only after a week, but I did and felt good.

decent weight loss?
I have lost 30 pounds since surgery date 7-5 but honestly I can not tell in my body yet. I am down 2 sizes but to me I still look the same. I work out at least hour n half 5 times a week. i am averaging about 7 pounds lost every week man. I am happy but wish I could see it, instead of everyone just telling me.
