Scheduled for 2/27! It's almost here!!!! I've been on a liquid diet for almost two weeks I can tell I've lost weight cause my pants feel loose but I don't want to weight myself till surgery day! Exited and scared but mostly exited! Is the surgery painful?

How exciting for you! Follow your surgeon's guidelines, you will not regret it. More than likely you will feel gas pains, walking is essential for that. Best wishes, Karen

The gas pain was annoying but remember to walk, walk, walk and walk. You will do just fine. Good Luck

Congratulations on getting here...it feels like an eternity, huh? Let us know how you are when you can and be gentle with yourself.

You will know you had surgery...I had to have a hernia repaired as well so I was a bit more sore alittle longer...but you'll do just fine...just know you will be sore for awhile.

I go the call my surgery is scheduled at 7 am. It's finally here!!! How long did it take you guys to recuperate? Also should I ask the nurse to get me started on stool softener a right away? And is there any pointers to improve my recovery?
