Thanks Very Much for the feedback and well wishes, looking forward to moving past the surgery.
Didn’t they do your surgery laparoscopically with just 3 small holes in the stomach? I remember only being uncomfortable for a couple of days, minimal bruising if any. I had no problem sleeping on my side and by three weeks I was back to normal.
I was 62 at the time so that may be a factor in healing more quickly.
