let me tell you, I was so nervous about going, and going alone at that.. But once I got to the hospital everything went great! They did my vitals that day, and I was up for surgery the next day! The Doctor met with us, and he gave us the confidence that we would love the outcome of this procedure. The day of surgery..I hurt so bad.. That gas they talk about is real!! But thank goodness it lasted about 2 days.. After that, its smooth sailing...besides being on all liquids of course! But I'am not 15 days post op, and I'am down over 30 pounds!!! This is the best thing I have ever done! I cant wait to see what I look like in 2 months.. This weight is just falling off of me and I can't be any happier!! Thank you all for giving me the gift of living again!! I hope my new life will be an experience I will never forget!!!!!
