Best Wishes for a successful surgery and smooth recovery! Weigh to go! I just read another post from someone who just had surgery and the thing that hurts the most is their BACK. And it is PAINFUL, not just uncomfortable. THE LAST THING YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR SURGEON, BEFORE THEY PUT YOU UNDER, IS TO PUT SOMETHING UNDER YOUR KNEES TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF YOUR BACK!!! Time and time again folks are coming out of the O.R. and their back is killing them. It’s because you are lying flat on your back for hours on a hard surface. How long can you do that now? If the surgeon will just put a rolled up blanket under your knees this problem will be eliminated! Got It?... Good…. Problem solved. (Or at least talk it over with him/her).

i just emailed... but more hugs to you, you can never have enough of those. deep breaths there kiddo... long slow deep breaths... and think ahead to six months from now... a year from now... what wonderful things in store... don't be afraid to hit that morphine pump button whenever you get the urge... that's what it's there for... best wishes... speedy recovery! karen d.

Debbie, Wow, your date is close! I remember (vividly) how I felt the days before my surgery...many mixed emotions but it is all worth it in the end. I'm just 3 weeks post op and down 21 lbs. Soon you will be reporting your losses too. May God bless you. Jenni
