No pain no g...loss XD

I just had LBS yesterday. Just remember baby steps, the first 24 hrs are pretty rough. Remember to bring a pillow for the ride home. Good Luck!

OMG!!!

Congratulations to you! I just went under the knife on Monday myself. For me, the first day was a breeze compared to the second day. I think maybe because by the second day, all the pain meds from the surgery itself had worn off.

So I took it really easy yesterday, but I think it's all downhill from here, because I felt much better today (day 3 post-op).

Compared to other surgeries I've had, LBS was a piece of cake.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement and enthusiasm. I will be sure to keep you all posted on the outcome. :0)

So my surgery was on May 16th, now I'm two days out and still in quite a bit of pain/soreness. My doctor says that the second day is maximum swelling. Plus, she had repaired a small hiatal hernia (didn't even know I had), so that could be the reason for the excessive tightness I'm feeling. Not sure. I'm just super happy that the surgery is behind me now.
