Later this morning will be 36 hours since surgery. As long as I am still, it's an ache. Whole I walk, it hurts but nothing I can't tolerate. When I get up from a chair or bed, it really hurts. How long until that bad pain subsides?

For me the rough patch lasted 4-6 days. After that I could go shopping with my mom virtually pain-free. Although hiccups and coughing hurt a while after that. Other than that it is a pretty smooth recovery!

Also, they are not kidding when they say "sip sip sip all day long" I didnt and suffered dehydration and readmission into the hospital so...sip sip you should be feeling better soon.

i wish you the greatest success in your journey!!!

Hey, we have the same goal weight. Think about it, you are ahead of me, Lol !

You are doing great. So brave.

This too shall pass.
