I made it!!

Well i'm almost exactly one week postop, and so glad to be on the other side. I do have extreme lower back pain and I don't know why. My pain otherwise is minimal. I've already lost 16.5 lbs, and can't wait to see the results at my one month appt. Take care all of you, Irene

congrats irene! try getting those one of those thermal patches for you back they work wonders. caution don't leave on longer then 8hrs because could get a burn from it if you leave it on too long

Congrats I will be there soon. Concerning the back pain that scares me. Did you have serious back problems prior to surgery? I at the moment am finally able to get around I was out on my back all last week. Dr. perscribed Perc 10 and I have tryed Oxycotin but none of it touches the pain. Any suggestions on minimizing it post op. Thanks Kelly
