Rachael Rivera-Hectus 1 Posted July 25, 2012 My surgery will be in September! I am nervous too, but also really excited. What are you most nervous about? For me I am most nervous about the pain post-op. 1 Shelly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracym1107 47 Posted July 27, 2012 I never had any pain medicine at all. Honestly had no pain. I had some soreness when getting up but that went away in a few days. I know everyone is different but don't stress over the pain....even if you have any it will be over quick! Best of luck! 1 kyletx06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My anxiety was on high, but I got through that. The roughest part is that I'm paying for it. My insurance has some stupid clause that I don't qualify. But I need this. I'm tired of being inactive due to my weight. I want my life back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
