I had my surgery on Friday May 17th I got o come home yesterday. I'm doing pretty good not having any issues except I feel super full all the time. Not hungry at all. I had a low heart rate after surgery so I have to have it checked out. They didn't seem to hunk it meant anything but the doctor suggested I have it looked at. They also did a EKG in he middle of he night on Fruday and it came back fine. Soo I have an appointment on the 29th to have it checked again. I have to have another EKG before the appointment. I hope it's nothing my mom had a low heart rate after her knee surgery so it could just run m my family. We will see. Other than hat was not nervous at all before going in. Cracked jokes at my surgeon had everyone laughing!! I am not in pain and haven't taken any pain meds today t all. Walked down the street a little ways

S this afternoon. Not very far though. All in all I'm doing great!!

Glad to see all is well.

I know what ya mean! Glad your okay. It will get easier. It was a tough weekend for me, but I got up and went to the mall to walk. The gas was the worst feeling. I took hot showers, a heating pad and used Gas X strips. Thank goodness its subsided! I hope your feeling better soon.

I know exactly what you mean. I just don't feel like me. Just a little struggle trying to get back to normal day to day activities

Hang in there May ladies (and gents)! My surgery was 4/9 and it wasn't a picnic. We are freaking our bodies out an they react in different ways. I have my energy back and start 'regular' food today. Even though i've been grumpy at times,, teary, frustrated and just plain tired, I would NOT change my mind about having this surgery. I am down 43 lbs and loving it! Hang in there and keep your eyes on your long range goals of a healthier life.

Hang in there....this was a major surgery/lifestyle change. It takes time to heal and adjust.
