Hi Michael,
You dont know me...but I am from Indiana too and just had my surgery on the 12th so I am 10 days out and doing well.
I had mine at St. Vincents Hospital in Carmel, IN. Best damn hospital ever, they have done over 15,000 and the staff are the best.
I was only in 2 days and came home...everything has been working and keeping down so far....I have already lost 22 pound in 10 days!
I just want to wish you a blessed surgery and a speedy recovery! Remember to walk as much as you can...it really does cut your pain.
Hugs and Congrats...Oh and Welcome to the Losers Bench Now :)
