Surgery went great no problems what so ever. walked around the hospital hours after my surgery and got all my liquids in that they gave me. got home around 8 last night slept really good since I was so tired. They put me in a room with a woman that just found out she was going to die within a week so it was very busy in our room. I am down 3 pounds already from my surgery. I went for a walk around the block today and have felt good. Only have a little bit of a blotting feeling but other then that all is good. Hope everyone else is doing as well as I am.

IM NOT LOSING WEIGHT.IM GETTING RID OF IT. AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF FINDING IT AGAIN.

great to hear you are doing well. Keep it up :)

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

YAY! Welcome back home. The bloating will last at least 3 weeks. Your insides are full of fluid from the operation and the healing process keeps fluids there until you are fully healed. Keep up the good work.
