    You've done great on your pre-op. I'm sure it will be smooth sailing with your surgery.

    The pain was not bad at all. They gave me morphine in the hospital, discharge with Vicodin and only used about 6 pills and switched to Tylenol. I was very nervous about the pain too. You'll do great don't worry. Best of luck to you.

    Pain was tolerable and I'm pretty much a wimp. Make sure you walk, walk, walk in the hospital. It helps dispapate the air they pump into you. I was able to go home after one night in the hospital because I could keep the liquids down and passed the leak test. It was tough getting up from the bed for the first week or so, but I just moved slowly. Every day I felt better than the day before. Good luck and update us on your progress.
    I ❤ my sleeve!
