For those of you waiting for surgery, let me put your mind at ease. It really was not bad at all.:biggrin: The before part and thinking about it was worse than the surgery. For me the anathesia(?) was more bothersome than anything. I felt like I couldn't take a deep breath and something heavy was sitting on my chest, that's it. I'm sore from the surgery yes, but it's like I did a bunch of sit ups. When you do have your surgery, get plenty of rest/sleep but, also be sure to get up and walk every hour for 5 minutes, that helps alot! If you have any questions just ask. Remember think "skinny".

I had my surgery yesterday as well.I am sore.I am hungry.I can't get into a good position to sleep,But I am soooo excited for my new life.Thanks to everyones support!

I'm glad things went well for you! I wish that was the case for everyone! I know many people have no problems and hardly any pain but that wasn't me! I'm great now but man o man I was awful the 1st week post op. Maybe my pain tolerance isnt so hot!!

Congrats on surgery and it being, "Not too Bad"!! I think its a little different for everyone but this is still uplifting to know your experience wasn't terrible!
