Having surgery on Wednesday, you've given me so much hope for a excellent recovery...

Good luck to you, Mimi!

But more important than luck, please listen to and follow all the directions of your surgeon and surgery coordinator and you will be fine.

I wish I had my VSG surgery sooner, but fear and nervousness kept me from pursuing it.

I'm so happy you're going to be joining the journey with the rest of us! You're going to do FANTASTIC!

Keep us all updated on your progress, and just remember, we can all do this!

It will be over before you know it. When I first awakened after surgery I was in a state of shock because I honestly thought the surgeon had somehow pulled out at the last minute and decided not to do the surgery procedure, because I wasn't feeling any kind of pain.

My surgeon actually walked over to me and confirmed that he did indeed do the surgery and everything went very well. I eventually felt a little soreness at the incision sites but that was very bearable.

Of course, I know people sometimes have complications, but what's a safer place to have a complication than an actual hospital.

I believe you're gonna totally ROCK this!:-)

Congrats, hugs and gas-x strips!
