    Atlantic article

    Exactly - it's an interesting gap in his thinking, and he doesn't really address it. It's okay to say "I consider the surgery too risky, so I'm not going to pursue it" but he didn't. He just did this weird narrative 180 and said "now I'm going to pursue the path I've just spent 2000 words describing as almost futile".

    Everybody stumbles. It's what you do after that makes the difference. You threw out the leftovers - SCORE!

    Laying in hospital now

    It will get better soon! A lot of the discomfort is probably from the anesthesia and pain medication. I spent two nights in the hospital and felt pretty badly for about a week after surgery and then I felt much better! After two weeks I was back at my office, feeling OK. A few weeks out and you probably won't even remember how badly you felt, you'll be watching pounds drop off.

    Relocating after surgery

    Oh no! I'm one of the lucky ones. VERY glad to be at work and being paid. Hope it ends soon and you get paid retroactively!

    Liquids go right through you. Once you are able to eat solid food like chicken take it slow or you will be hurting!

    Unnecessary sleep study?

    I also recommend seeing if you can get the at-home test. I had moderate sleep apnea and didn't know it. Several years ago I had a different surgery and they had trouble getting me breathing on my own after the procedure - and only did after an emergency re-intubation. My WLS went much more smoothly because the anesthesiologist knew about my apnea and somehow compensated for it. No problems waking me up at all. So, it may ultimately help, even if you don't think it will.

    Relocating after surgery

    Haven't had that issue but as I'm an Aussie thought I would say hi. Where are you relocating to?
