Meg - great write-up! 

I'm glad you had a very good experience.  And I do think it has a lot to do with your whole attitude going into it.

I didn't have the leg tingles issue... maybe someone else did.

You've only just begun your journey - hold on for the crazy ride!!

Loved your write up Meg! You know its funny because when my husband had his surgery who is (was) a heavy weight had that same type of dent that you described..I've heard other people describe the same thing..at the time it scared us well scared him I tried to pretend it didn't scare me but it kind of did! Anyway, it went away within a couple of weeks...
