So I'm about 10 hours out of surgery. Feeling good. I got all staples no stitches only hurts when I get up and use my stomach muscles. I only took 5ml of pain meds they recommended 10ml. Did 20 min of walking 1/2 mile, did good. The only pain I have is between my shoulder blades and moving into my chest it's from the gas. My walk helped get some out. :-) starting weight today 4/26/13 is 314 lbs my goal is to get down to 130!

Good luck. The gas was the only real pain I had. A heating pad helps

I'm doing good. Today I am really sore I have done a lot yesterday and today. Tomorrow I am just gonna relax and do nothing. I return back to work on Tuesday. Down 4 lbs since Friday might just be gas but its less 4. :-)

Congratulations and welcome to the "other" side. Now the fun begins. Soon they will start calling you Skinny!
