Hey Donna,
I am posting a little late.. I guess by now you have already had your surgery and you are now on the "Other Side", so let me be the first to tell you "Welcome"!!!
I pray that your surgery was uneventful and that you have a speedy and as painless as it gets recovery.. I had my vbg on the 12th of April. Last week was my 2 month aniversary and I have lost 38lbs. I have had no problems at all, cept a little gas and heartburn, but, thats all gone now.. You and your family will be in my prayers. Let me know how you are doing!
