    Things we can do post op & when

    I know they will want you to move to keep from getting blood clots. So I can see walking the dog, easy house cleaning, but I agree any heavy lifting I’d not do. Good Luck… Do you have your tree up? I can see getting that done. But go shopping, walk, get out!

    That is good news about your daughter. Part of me hopes my Hubby will decide to do the surgery. He doesn't have the medical issues I have, but he's still very overweight. And not to get to personal, but I hope getting the weight off, helps me enjoy my personal time with him :o ;) Rhonda

    Back from cruise

    That is wonderful to hear. I plan to have surgery in Dec or Jan. Then we are planning a trip to Disney World in the fall with our Grandson. So it's good to hear that you were able to enjoy the vacation even after surgery.

    New to the group

    Thanks for your replies. I've only told a few close friends and immediate family. So trying to come up with 10 people who's had the surgery to talk to is hard. I don't wont to put my plans on Facebook and work (other than the boss) doesn't know. So any replies are much appreciated.
