Hi there Frank, I read your post today, Frank you hang in there. Believe me, YES in the beginning it is HELL. I thought I would never get well, then one day I felt better and then next day even better. so it is true what they say. I'm 3 months now. and feel great. wt loss is 72lbs. People do forget that this is major surgery. and healing isn't a overnight thing. Hang in there, you will be just fine. Remember everyday is a blessing. Hugs
