I am 4 months post-op and feeling quite lonely. I wondering if I made the correct decision to have this surgery. Unfortunately, I do not know anyone who has had the surgery that I can talk to. My husband said he would be supportive of my decision to have the surgery but that does not seem to be happening. I'm not looking for people to praise me on all that I have lost. Has anyone else every felt this way, like you have no one to talk to that understands what you are going through.

you need to get up and walk around to prevent blood clots....

Hi, It is very important to walk!! I was non compliant and suffered 3 hospital stays due to infection and pnuemonia. Walking also helps wake up the bowels and keep things moving on the inside. I felt like crap but once I started to comply thing turned for the better immediately. Now I am 6 weeks out and feel fabulous. Good luck.
