Good Luck ! I jut had my surgery yesterday. I am a little sore as expected. Feels like i did a whole bunch of crunches LOL. Its tender to roll over in bed and coughing, sneezing and hick ups are not your friend. Be gentle when doing these things. grab a pillow and hug it to relieve some of the stress from coughing. Good luck..my proceedure took about an hr. Congrats on starting a new healthier life style!
