Yesterday was the day!! I love my surgeon, Dr. Grossbard. The procedure went off without a hitch! I'm feeling a little sore, but I'm making sure I keep walking. I have a Jack Russell and a three year old that keeps me moving!! Just wondering how everyone else felt the day after? I'm just so happy and excited about my journey I may be ignoring some of the pain!

Congratulations on making the best decision you can to change your life forever...NOW the fun starts....hang in there, don't get discouraged.....

As far as the day after, I was perfectly happy to to become one with my lazy boy recliner with a comforter, in front of the flat screen, sip chicken broth and Water, and take my pain meds on a regular schedule (if I needed them or not) untill they were all gone....after 3 days of that I started to climb the walls and had to get up and get out....

A little sore and not too hungry...and trying to follow all the new rules and drink enough.

I was a bit teary and had some "buyers remorse" and even was asking myself what did I do to myself, did I make a mistake. My supportive hubby kept reassuring me it was the right decision and all will be alright.

Well, 2 1/2 mos later, no fills to date, eating everything I want without any deprivation, walking, listening to my band, and still learning to walk away from a plate with food still on it and realizing the world won't collapse because of it...

I am 55 lbs down and feeling SO good about myself....

Congrats to you on your new journey...wishing you all the best...keep us posted!

I have made sure to keep moving, the longer I stay still, the worse it hurts to get up! I'm struggling to get enough water down, but I'm trying. I have some broth warming now and I can't wait to sip some! Thanks for sharing stories and th encouraging words!

I was terrible the day after my mom called me said I scared her I sounded weak, well I just had surgery. As a matter of fact I was on the couch sitting up with my feet propped up. Four days. I admit I don't handle pain well so I couldn't breath past it for nearly a week. Quite the experience but one I'd gladly repeat if necessary.
