Good luck Barbara on your surgery (the start of your new life)! I am just getting started and still waiting for my first appointment with the surgeon so I can give you any tips about WLS but as a nurse I'll share what I know from my own C/S recovery and my patients. Walk, walk, walk. The more you move around, each time it will get easier. Also, pain meds are a tool to help you control the pain so that you can walk, walk, walk. If you need it, then use the meds. Nothing takes away all the pain but there is no need to be a martyr. I'll be saying a prayer for you. Let me know how you are doing. I'll be rooting for you!
