Congratulations on your surgery! Sounds like you're doing great.

You will feel better each day. Glad you are on the other side. Best wishes for a quick recovery and steady weight loss!

The timeline gives me a good and realistic perspective

Wow discharged same day congratulations seems like your getting better

My surgeon said I'd be in hospital 2 or 3 days. :-/
