My surgery was tuesday. I just got home from the hospital today. I've gained like 10 lbs from all the fluids they pumped into me. I was so swollen my hands looked like Jimmy dean sausages. So anyway, the journey begins! Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts preop.

Good luck to you.  I gained in the hospital as well.  It was discouraging, but I went on to lose 20 lbs my fist month post-op.  You'll do fine.

Good luck!  I remember putting on the shirt I packed to go home in and it didn't fit, it was sooooo tight over my swollen belly.  I looked like a freak with an alien in my stomach.  Hang in there, you've got this.  xoxo
