The day finally came and I'm 24 hours post surgery. Not as painful as I would've imagined but I was told they needed to repair a hernia during the surgery which is causing me tons of pain. I went for my X-rays to make sure there wasn't any leakage and there's wasn't!! Woo hoo. That drink was painfully disgusting and being the first thing I drank it was quite painful. So excited about what's the come. Can only hope for a fast recovery!!!

Congratulations!

Congrats!!! Welcome to the bench. I'm glad they did my leak test while I was knocked out. Surgeon had to scrap more scar tissue damage from my days of lapband. I moving faster and my body doesn't hurt as much today.

CONGRATS!!!!!  I had the hernia repair too and it took about 3-4 weeks before I didn't notice it.  The "big" incision was the biggest pain for sure.

Keep walking, get your water in as you can...... and get ready to be a loser!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. Finally being released and so excited to be getting back home. Still in a bit of pain, but hoping that it'll subside soon. 

Thanks again! I'll be sure to post my progress!
