CatLover 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Hi Everybody! Well, thanks to all of you and your many posts, I was encouraged to go through with this procedure and am so happy I did! I was fearful of the pain and unknown complications. The doctor told me it would be 1 1/2 hour surgery but he did it in 45 minutes! I had no complictions and very little pain - really just gas pains is all I felt. Fortunately, those only lasted a couple of days. I am back to work today and can do most things. I am a little more tired than usual, but, hey, I can accept that! I am so looking forward to the future now. I have a much more positive outlook. I lost 14 lbs pre-op and am anxious to see how I will do now. Cat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
