I think today was the day that I made it over the hump so to say. Right know my biggest obstacle is my brace it is rubbing terribly and giving me the biggest problem during therapy. It has been tough and it is not an easy surgery. On the up side I did lose 30 lbs
I am not really ready to post all the details but Eric was really taken aback by the tightness and support found in this very special group that I am a part of.surgery 9/06
