Love it... getting to surgery... being surgery eligible, is a big deal. That being said, the surgery itself is a big deal too... and recovery is worse than watching grass grow. Just slow... a bit depressing, because you feel like nothing changes and you are not seeing any improvements. But it comes... you just have to look for changes in maybe 3 month chunks. I'm just now 3 years post-op... and my 2nd year post-op was waaaaayyyy better than my first year! I'm amazed at how much I can eat now. Digestion has come along... sleeping has improved greatly... I lay pretty flat now, on either side... and I never thought that would be possible. But the first year is a challenge... a real bitch. Get your mind right... ready for some discomfort... it's a long slow grind.
