Can't complain!
Hi all --
I just wanted to post a note about my surgery, which happened 5 days ago. I remember coming onto this website and trying to suck out every bit of information as I could. I remember reading about a lot of complications and issues and it was kinda scary and made me nervous.
I wanted to write a note to all you newbies, pre-ops, etc. to let you know that my RNY surgery and gallbladder removable was pretty unremarkable, as has been my recovery. I am not in any pain, really, and there have been no complications.
I'm feeling pretty good, in fact. Today I walked an hour in the woods with my family and it was awesome. I can't say it was a work out -- more of a stroll -- but I was pleased nonetheless.
For those of you who want the nitty gritty details of my surgery, you can visit my blog where I just wrote about it.
I would also like to thank so many of you who have posted on here -- both good and bad -- and for those who answered so many questions of mine. Your information has been so valuable to me!
Onward and upward,
Stephanie

Congrats to you on your surgery! I am so happy it was uneventful and you are recovering well. Don't over do things, but keep up the good work of getting in activity! I m not sure i could have walked an hour 4 or 5 days post-op. I wasn't in severe pain, but when walking, it would certainly stir up some pain that wasn't present prior to the walks.
Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to traveling this journey with you!
