1 week post-op!

Today is my 1 week surgiversary! I am home....and feeling better every day!

I have to admit that this is the most painful thing I have ever endured, but well worth every bit of it. While you are in the hospital, no matter how much it hurts, you have to walk, walk, walk!!!! My first night out of surgery was the worst, I got a little cranky with the nurses every time I had to walk....lol of course I appologized later. I actually ended up with 5 small incisions, and then the drain. I still have my drain in but will have it removed tomorrow at my follow up appointment. The pain gets better every day.

THE STATS:

Highest Weight = 298 lbs.

Weight after 6 month medically supervised weight loss program = 294

Day of Surgery after 2 day liquid diet = 288 lbs.

1 Week Post-Op = 271 lbs.

The weight is just falling off every day....THIS WAS SOOOO WORTH IT!

Anyone with questions, feel free to ask.....I am eager to share my experience with anyone that will listen.
