I too had my surgery on the 21st! I am down 15 pounds since starting the preop diet. I am 6 days post op and woke up feeling great. I still have a little pain where my port side is but not too much. THis is the first time in a long time that I am feeling good about myself. THis was the best decision for me!
Just got my tentative date August 21. Now in the process of letting family know of my decision. Any advice? My mother is very apprehensive about the whole thing.
