Thumbs up

Good Luck Lo! Everything is going to be fine. I am 2 and 1/2 weeks out, I must say it is better being on the post-op side than still worrying on the pre-op side. You will do great, just walk, sip fluids, and walk some more. Keep us up to dat when you get home.

You sound so excited and happy, that is wonderful. Before you know it you'll be past this moment and on fast track to a new life. Remember be patient with your new stomach and treat her like a new baby. Everything will be great.

Look forward to reading how it all went.

Be strong and remember the reason you are taking this journey.

All the best to you.
