Hello Everyone:)

I had my surgery on July 16,2013 and from what my doctor is saying I'm doing really well! My first few days I was in some pain but he staff at Yale new haven hospital were amazing. I thank God that today I'm feeling awesome besides some soreness and these gas bubbles that really hurt. Been walking as much as possible have not weighed my self just yet I have my follow up appointment on July 29th I'm going to try and wait till then:) well see how that goes ....it really helps to have the support of people who love you once I had woken up and felt the pain I was like omg what did I do but with there help support I am feeling quiet fabulous. One think I wanted to asked is does anyone know how to help with this gas those bubbles can be painful

Yay! Your gonna love being sleeved! Walking helped me a ton with the gas pain I promise you it will go away sooner then you know it. Mine went away around the end of the second week but just keep walking and good luck

congratulations!!!! So nice to hear @ five days you're doing so well. If you don't mind my asking, who did the surgery?

I'm going with Dr. Floch out of Norwalk,....Yale would have been much closer.....but he came highly recommended by 2 people I know......plus...I know too many people at Yale, making it hard to keep this quiet LOL

It's so nice your family was there to support you!

Thank you so much !! I truly feel blessed with my progress! Dr Roberts at Yale performed my surgery he was very nice and even visited me a few times while I was in the hospital. I know what you mean about keeping it quiet there were a few people I knew there it was kinda awkward. Lol I heard abt a Dr in Norwalk but that would have been too far for my family and I definitely needed them.

Thank you so very much !

I am 2 1/2 months out and is the best thing I have ever done for myself. The wall is coming down and I am living more again. I wish I had done sooner but everything has its time. I will not be fat and fifty this year. I will be smaller and telling everyone one I am 40!
