Thanks everyone I really appreciate it. I moved to Alaska not lng ago and don't really know many people here. I know NO one who has had this surgery here. There isn't any support groups here. I think that is why I love everyone here on LBT. I don't think I could have done it without everyone here!!!! Jennifer

Me too!!! I go in at 12pm and have sugery at 1pm. I am really excited. Good luck:thumbup:

Good Luck to you!

Merpete.....Good luck, I am to arrive at 7:30am but not sure of the procedure. I hope everything goes well for you. I prayed for you so I know you will be in good hands.

Well I am 3 days post op and am feel fantastic. I can't believe how good I feel. The only real pain I am having is the shoulder gas pain. But it isnt' TO bad. The only time it happens is when I eat. Afterward I just lay down and put a heating pad on it and it usually goes away. I didn't get any strips on my insisions. Just glued shut. LOL I am going to take pics later. I did 2 days of clear liquids and now the doc says I can start mushies. I have been walking and have even been shopping... LOL Anyway, just wanted to give everyone an update....
