I had my surgery one week ago today.  (My other updates were posted in the Ontario forum as I figure they would be most helpful with details specific for having it done there... but now I think my experience should be fairly universal)

I know how much these types of threads helped me when I was wondering how things might go.  And I wanted to give you lovely people an update!

First day after surgery went well. I was up and walking around that night.  Had no issues sleeping on

Had surgery on Monday and things are going pretty good. Home today, showered walking and sipping.. However my neck is killing me. Anyone else have neck pain after surgery? 

I wanted to thank all of you who answered my many questions.  Had surgery midday yesterday.  Up sopping and walking today. Hurts but is manageable.  Thanks to you guys I have a blanket from home, earplugs and a big tub of lip balm.  They are very usefu

Hey everyone,

But do they let you shower in the hospital?  Specifically TWG. I feel so much better, no matter how sick or injured, if I am

Surgery is coming up fast, the 21st.

By two weeks!  So it does happen :)  Now I have surgery on Nov 21.

So exciting, it is becoming very real now!  

Did any of you say that you would do the surgery sooner if the chance arose?  If so did you go earlier.

Woo!

Juliek7312's lovely post has made me a little worried.  I have shoes and boots I love and cannot replace.  (I have a pair of

I did try to search, honest :) But I couldn't find anything recent with the search parameters I could think of.

As you can see by my siggy below how my appointments have been going.  They don't need a sleep study they say, my blood wo

One of the reasons I want this surgery is to be able to be really active again.  My ankles currently say no to running (knees are just fine)  I had to quit a few years ago even though I was running with the Running Room and even did a 5k race.  Though

Please ignore.  Unless you want to chat.  Then please chat away :D :D

I had the nutritionist class where they let you sample the optifast.  YUCK!  Please tell me the ways to improve it really work.  It was seriously some of the nastiest tasting stuff I have ever put in my mouth!
