Hello everyone, i had lap VBG on 4/2 and am finally feeling well enough to post. i have lost 9 lbs so far and the pain has been ROUGH....i really was not prepared for the pain but a few days of pain is nothing compared to a long healthy life. i just wanted to say hi...even though i dont post much, i try to read every night.........you are all in my thoughts for your recent/ upcoming surgeries and i look forward to reading your posts.....talk to you soon melissa

Melissa - congratulations and welcome back home! Sorry to hear things are rough...but keep you chin up and hang in there...I'm sure things will get better soon. I'm sending lots of prayers and well wishes to you that each day gets a little better than the last one.

Welcome back, Melissa. Sounds like you had a rough few days, but your spirits are high. 9 pounds. That's a great start. Hold on. It's gonna be a wild ride. Enjoy. DD

Welcome home Melissa!!! Glad to hear everything went well, sorry to hear recovery has been so painful. Hope this week is better for you and you heal quickly. It's all uphill from here on! And wow, 9-lbs. already, that's wonderful! I can't remember ever loosing 9-lbs. in just a week or less! That's awesome! Keep up the good work and will be keeping you in my prayers! Hugs, Lisa

Welcome to the losers bench. I know what you mean about the pain. I think most of it for me is gas and the more you walk and get it moving the better. Congrats on your weight lose. I haven't been on a scale yet. Dani
