    Best of luck.

    And be prepared that your shoulder may hurt after. Oddest thing. If you have pain meds already filled, make sure to bring them with you.

    Congratulations on your new "birth" day!

    My advice is-

    Don't 2nd guess your decision

    Don't expect to lose 20lbs after surgery

    Take it easy and let your body heal

    USE your pain meds!

    DO EXPECT to gain a few pounds within the first 6 weeks or more and DON'T get discouraged, it's normal

    DO follow your doctors post-op instructions to the tee

    and finally,

    Start walking as soon as you possibly can!!

    I started walking right after surgery (only 10 mins at a time) and had ZERO gas pains!

    Best of luck to you!
