All you need is the positive attitude and the want for it! You will be just fine =) I am still dealing with discomfort, but its part of the package. I'm just super happy that I've lost already, didn't quite expect it... doesnt look like it to me, but the scale says so! I've been in sweats and tshirts comfortable at home so I can't wait to actually go somewhere once I'm feeling up to it to see if there is a difference in my clothing.... Good luck to you!!!

Ok, so the gas has finally started to "pass" and I'm getting a LOT of relief from it! I woke up feeling so much better. I decided to step on the scale and I'm down 10 lbs just since Sunday!!! I know I was complaining before, but I take it all back, this is more than worth it!!! Thanks for all the support everyone! I've chosen not to let people around me know that I had this procedure done because I really dont wanna hear the criticism, I just wanna feel better.... at least I can talk to others on here who are going through similar situations in dealing with it. I was kind of feeling alone till I hopped on this forum.....

lol, then I cant wait to blow a@@ too! I have the pain on my left side as well, I'm drinking water/Gatorade every 15 min or so, just a sip or two here and there to keep hydrated, and tried a little of my protein shake just to fill up a little more earlier. I am excited to see how this is all gonna work out, I've actually gone down 6 lbs since Saturday.... so I guess the saying is true, u gotta go through hell to get to heaven! Keep me posted on your results as well! I'd like to have someone who is somewhat going through the same thing at the same time, kind of as support.... Thanks again!!

How long does the gas pain last anyway? I know everyone is different, but just trying to get an estimate if possible =/ I do get up and walk as much as possible.... thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I'm glad I found this site =)
