Harrison

Hi, I'm Harrison, 28yo unmarried wf from Dallas.
I had my surgery Monday and got home Friday. I'm feeling sore still, but getting better.


I hope this forum will be useful and supportive. You seem like a friendly bunch. Merry Christmas! And congratulations to all of you.

I've attached a picture I'm not very proud of, but I wanted to be honest.
It's me leaving the hopsital Friday.

Harrison,

Welcome to the "Losers"! You will soon be leaving your old way of life behind. Looks like a CPAP machine in your picture, hopefully that will be one of the first things you lose! Okay, besides the weight! During this time period though just walk, sip, and rest.....then repeat. Don't try to bend over much or pick anything up. And remember, the pain will soon be gone and you WILL be able to eat like a normal person again. Just smaller amounts!

Welcome Harrison,

Congrats on your surgery and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. The first week pretty much sucks but after that it is all uphill. You're gonna do great.. I may be a little biased but I think this is the best support group on the web..

Sip, walk, and rest and everything else will fall into place..

Hi Harrison,

I'm rather new here myself, unfortunately I didn't find this forum until the day before my surgery. Everyone here is so helpful and supportive, like a family. Congratulations on your surgery and good luck with your recovery.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
