Newbie having second thoughts about surgery

 I had a talk about this website with my doctor. I told him so many people seem to have issues when he states the percentage is otherwise. It is a really low number that have problems. It turns out that it is much more likely that those with issues come here for support (a disproportionate number) that it makes it seem scary.

My surgery was a cinch! First day a little rough but I was very comfortable. Pain meds only for the first hour after surgery! Came home on day 2.5 and felt so good that I went outside and pruned a few plants (easy ones of course). I didn't throw anything up until 4 weeks out and that was fish. I have lots of nutritional support so I'm doing good. I am 6 weeks out and surgery weight was 207 and I'm 188 today! I feel so much less pain and can move better. I still need naps but my good days are better than any "good" day I've had in the last 8 to 10 years!! 

Thanks for your feedback and I would love to be updated on your journey from time to time.
