Best of luck and hang in there. 6 days postop and everything is slowly getting better.

I 100% agree this is and was not such an easy procedure. There is definitely a needed recovery period.

Sandee, so glad the worst part is over for you. I too had that horrible headache and I was kept an extra day as well. I was having respiratory problems and my pulmanologist was called in. I had breathing treatments every 4 hours till I left the hospital. They told me the headache was from the anesthesia so when I got home I didn't take any of the hydrocodone I had. This is definitely NOT EASY but it does get easier after the first two weeks. Sending up healing prayers for you. Take care, walk and sip sip sip sip sip.

Hey everyone! Today I feel almost like myself. I can even bend down and pick up things off the floor now! lol I have my 1 week follow-up doctor's visit tomorrow. I'm really not concerned with the scale. I'm sleeved and I know that the weight will come off if I do my part. I've developed the patience of Job:)
