April 23rd Surgery

ceinman · April 16, 2008

Hi~ I am new to the site and my surgery is scheduled for the 23rd like a lot of you. I wasn't really nervous about the surgery until I got on this site and I have been reading some people's post op reactions. I have had 4 friends here locally that have had it done and they have all told me it wasn't that bad. Two of my friends said they didn't take any pain medicine afterwards, but after reading some of these I am worried.

So any of you who have had it done earlier in the month tell me what you think. Should I really be this worried about it?

I also need some tips on how to add my weight loss ticker to my signature. I have tried several different site for tickers but I keep getting an "invalid path" when I tried to add it?????

well at least I am not the only one having trouble with the ticker. I thought it was just me.

Well good luck, I am glad things went well so far. My friends who have had it done said the day after surgery was the worst for them, so if it hasn't been to bad for you then hopefully you have made it through the hard part! Let me know how it goes for you in the next few days!!
