Congratulations! You had your surgery the day after mine. I hope that your experience has been as great as mine is proving to be! I had a laproscopic VBG. I can honestly say that it was nearly painless. I had my one week post-op appt. with Dr. Rudic today, and he agrees that all is well. I'm going back to work next week. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy, pain free recovery too! Julie
