I had surgery on Wednesday November 16th, I am very pleased to say that my post op hasn't been bad at all.. I was in the hospital for about 28 hours, was up walking at the hospital about 6 hours post op. I had very little gas pains about the only pain I have had is around the port which hasn't been bad at all maybe 4/10 on the pain scale. Since I have been home the only pain i have had other than port pain is when I am hungry. I was on a liquid diet for 2 days and was allowed to start mushies after that. I can tell when I am full and if I have ate to much I know it about 5 minutes after the last bite.. Not being able to drink while eating is very hard for me! At this point I don't regret anything about having the surgery and i look forward to the rest of my journey.

Did your surgeon expect you to loss a certain amout of weight prior to being approved?
