My friend's husband had the surgery in June. He had a great description...he said, "The first day you feel like you've been run over by a mack truck. The next day more like a van and then a mini-van, a sedan a VW bug and a smart car...every day gets a little better. It hurts but less every day.

I have some kind of burning inside - I can never tell if it's hunger, heartburn, gas or what. I had no nausea but I haven't pooped in like 5 days which I'm starting to be a little concerned about. I stopped the pain meds yesterday and seem to be doing fine without them - there is pain but it's not unbearable. I went to the movies last night which was cool.

I'm finding I have emotional fluctuations. I woke up depressed this morning and I'm fighting it but it sucks. I'm not losing any weight but I'm guessing that's partly because of the constipation but that's depressing too. For some reason I thought I would be back to "normal" faster and I'm chafing at the bit a little.

How's everyone else doing?

My surgery date is 1/23

I am actually in the hospital right now waiting for my 8a.m. surgery. A little bit nervous. The chaplain came in and he prayed with my husband and me. I feel I am in really good hands. I am sixty years old, this is actually my birthday present to myself. Good luck

Hi Stephanie,

I'm in Australia. Pretty excited now. One week to go.

Just do a search in Facebook for ShinyLady - Debbie Smith. (This account has been created for this purpose.)

Yay! to all the January sleevers.
