Surgery completed and up and about
Surgery on 3/8 discharged 3/10 and even started walking on my treadmill that evening. Started with only 10 minutes but at least I started. Moved up to 15 last night and will start out with 30 minutes today and continue. I know exercise will be the key. Feeling a little discomfort due to the gas but it is better each day. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Hi Lois - congratulations on your successful surgery!!
The importance of light exercise post-op can't be stressed enough. It helps to reduce the chance of clots, pneumonia and a host of other problems (including gas!!). Just don't do too much too fast ~ remember, you're recovering from major surgery!!
You're on your way to a healthier life, and I hope all continues to go well for you!!
Hugs,
Nancy
