Hi Marian....I will be having surgery (LAP RNY) on Thursday and I just visited my new WLS surgery friend post op 1 day (LAP RNY) and she is doing GREAT! She said Antonette it is a piece of cake. She was looking wonderful, she only had minimal pain (she described it like she had done 100 crunches :o ) and was smiling and had already walked 10 laps around the unit today by before 11:00am. Dr Lord requires us to do 27 laps which equals a mile each day you are in the hospital. I know that you will do well. Do not fret or worry. Be confident in your decision and your choice of surgeon, as well as in yourself. Just pray and believe that you are special to God and He has you safe in His hand. Enjoy the journey, enjoy your new life!
