Hi Mary! :)
Thoughts and Prayers to you! :) I just had the surgery a week ago and did very well. It is so much easier than you anticipate it will be although the soreness, yes, is what you think it will be---you recover every day more and more and it is an amazing feeling that you did it! :)
You will be so much healthier and thinner a year from now---remember that and why you are doing it and it gives you strength. ;) Peace and Comfort, Courage and Healing, Love and Light,
Michelle :)
