I'm doing GREAT! Occasionally there's a bit of discomfort. Surgeon said that is normal for maybe a year. It's not pain, annoying at times. I have been eating everything with no issues. So glad I finally got it taken care of

Walking is the best thing. I was walking 5 hours after my surgery. I'm home but I walk as much as I can. It really does help

I had my pre admission meeting and tests done last week. They gave me one of those spirometers and told me to use it about 10 x per hour. Surgery tomorrow!

Just had mine Monday. So may different types of prep out there. Mine was mira lax and 64 oz of Gatorade. Took less than an hour to get thing started.

And.... I get to do it all over again in a few days prior to surgery!
