My life will change forever!!!

Good luck to you wishing you a speedy recovery

Yes! Your life will change forever because you will be adding years of good health. I'm so excited for you!

I hope everything goes smoothly and you have an easy recovery. The thing to remember in the beginning is that it really does get easier with time. The pain/nausea/gas will get a little better every day. Your incisions will heal up. It will get easier to drink and eventually eat. Just have patience. I think that's the number one thing I needed to keep reminding myself in those early days. You get so "in the moment" and caught up with whatever your current hardships are, but they really do pass quickly. I'm only a month out, as of today, and I feel a billion times better than in those early days. I feel almost completely "normal" and in the beginning it was hard to even remember what normal felt like!

So, hang in there! You are making a great choice that is going to drastically improve your quality of life for years to come!

Today is the day!!!!

Good luck! Prayers for a speedy recovery and a new life!!!
