LouiseC 1,031 Posted June 20, 2012 I am just so glad that I had this operation. I have not felt this happy for years. I find myself just sitting here smiling. I wake up smiling. I get dressed smiling. I drive to work singing my heart out, happy as a pig in muck. I am usually a happy person, but this happiness, this absolute joy? This is new. I am just so, so grateful that I had this opportunity to transform my life and improve my health. Despite the heartburn, the Constipation, the pain of a pulled stitch and the full time job that is keeping hydrated. I am just so damn happy! Had to share with all of you as I am driving my family crazy :-) Sent from my iPad using VST 8 Kiloalphatango, sabstar22, Amytequilahouse and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back~To~Amy 307 Posted June 20, 2012 I'm 15 days postop and had some "what in the heck did I get myself into" moments early on. I quickly figured out they were only when I didn't have adequate pain control. That being said, I find my whole attitude about life is much improved. I find myself thinking how happy I am and how excited I am for this journey and for what lies ahead in the future. I am so very happy and excited I had this surgery! 2 LouiseC and Thankful reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankful 1 Posted June 20, 2012 I am only four weeks out but can't believe this addiction to the mirror that I developed post-surgery while before I could barely stand by the mirror. I love every bit of this thus far. 1 LouiseC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
