No, you will be on the way to the new and better you!

I hope the surgery goes smoothly, and it will. Take it easy when you get home, but the next day make yourself get up and walk, walk, walk. The gas will not go away unless you do. Also, it will help you not get stiff. It will be uncomfortable, but only for a day or two. You will do great.

You will do well, just had my surgery on 7-12...I really didn't have any pain from the surgery..the only pain I had was that from my neck and shoulder. I have degennerative disc disease and I start having spasms in my neck and shoulders from lying on the or table with my arms in the position for so long...Now that was very painfull, but no pain from surgery. God bless, you will be okay!!!

I agree we are just one big happy family. I thank goodness I have all of you in my life everyday. I am staying connected to others who share my common struggle and JOYS. I love my LB and love this site because it helps me stay focused. Best wishes
