I am at the hospital and will be going back for surgery any time. Will let you know how it goes when I am on the other side. Pretty nervous. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Congrats and good luck! Here's to a smooth surgery and easy recovery!

Your probably in already but best of luck to you and CONGRATS!! Wishing you a smooth recovery!!!!!

Good luck!

You got this!

Wow. I can’t believe it is done. I went back to pre-op and before I knew it, I was asleep then suddenly it was done. When I woke up, I had pain in my back and shoulders and abdomin. The shoulder and back pain was difficult. But not intolerable. I have a pain med IV drip. I've mostly slept all day on and off. Dry mouth. About to do my second walk. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.

Congrats and Happy Healing!!!!

Knew you would be a success, keep on proving me right! Very happy it is done.

At one day post surgery, pain is pretty much gone. Have been waking every few hours, which helps. Starting in an hour or so, they will begin to try to see if can tolerate water. If that goes well, then protein shake, then I can go home. I can't say enough about how helpful this forum has been. Being able to get my questions answered and share my experiences for support is great! Thank you everyone!

As I get closer to my surgery date, I am reading more about others' recoveries. I am glad you are doing so well. It gives me hope

And me also, it's like I have brightening sensitivity to victory stories. We are going to do that SueSaBelle and do,it well!

And just another update. The water and protein went down fine. No issues. I am now home. Still some small pain, but they gave a prescription to manage it. I almost feel back to normal. But on the plus side- it's a new normal. I'm not hungry and feel like this is going to be a great success. Wishing everyone success in all upcoming surgeries!
