Hi Kelly! Don't count on the weight loss, after my hysterectomy and adhesion removal, I couldn't eat for 4 days. When I finally got on the scale, I weighed exactly the same. Since they "took out stuff" that must have weighed something, I figured I actually gained weight!! :0) But that's just my body, I'm sure you will loose something. Actually, that's one good thing that has come out of all this pain for me. I don't even worry about being overweight anymore (well at least obsessively worry). On any day I can get out of bed and do anything or something without being in mind numbing pain, I appreciate my body whatever shape it's in. Unfortunately the shape is oval, rectangle , square, hexagon.................................. Have a great day and hang in there!!!! jessica
