VannaD 13 Posted July 22, 2016 I feel much better than I thought I would! My surgeon said I helped make it easier on my body by losing 46lbs prior to surgery. I would have gone home after just one day but they want to keep a close eye on my blood sugars for an extra day.

miiasan 370 Posted July 22, 2016 great - and it will only get better from here - don't overdo it the first two weeks - allow your body to heal - follow your doctor's instructions on exercise, etc. Walk, walk, walk - sip, sip, sip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shi-Shi80 73 Posted July 23, 2016 Bornthisway622, good to know all is well. How bad is the pain? I had a few laparscopic surgeries and Im wondering if the pain is similar to that. I also had a c-section so I'm trying to see where this lies on the pain scale. Btw, I'm buying a good supply of Gas X today, no lie!!
