Hi Patricia, hang in there and be strong. the pain is temporary, and then you find yourself shrinking like an ice cube in hot water! It's no easy, but nothing truly worthwhile is. I am 5 months post-op and had regrets too, I messed up my back fron the hosptal gurneys and everything just hurt. then one day I woke up and the pain was mostly gone. that will be you soon and you can just rejoice in the positive changes that will coe into being. You have changed your life for the better and that is sure gonna shake up your body until things heal. be strong and believe that you did the right thing! you are not alone and are strong enough to endure this, or you wouldn't have made it this far. you can email me anytime and I'll try to reply asap. I've been right where you are, and not even that long ago, and can utterly say it was worth it every ouch and owie!
big hugs and healing thoughts,
Colleen (5 months post-op -101 lbs)
