Hi - I had my surgery on June 27th and I tried not to think about what I was doing before the surgery. I couldn't believe that I was finally going through with it after talking about it for so long. I must admit I was nervous. But now I know it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I have no regrets and I finally feel I have a bright future as far as my health is concerned. You will be fine. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jan

I had my surgery last Wed. - 6/27 and I must say that I do not feel too good. I can walk around with no problem and my incisions are ok but I have so much indigestion and I cannot get enough protein down. My dr. insists that this is all normal. I have a headache but he said that that can still be from the anethesia. I belch a lot and am so full all the time. I feel very weak. My nutritionist said to add yogurt to up the protein. It has helped some. I sleep in a recliner to avoid more gas.I hope it starts getting better. Hope you feel better too.

Thanks so much to all who have answered. I really makes me feel better knowing that there are other out there tha have some of the same problems. I am also so glad to meet some same day surgeries. Thanks again.

Hi to all. My name is Jan and I had my surgery on Wed. 6/27. I was home on the 29th. I am doing my walking and never hungry so I have a hard time getting my shakes down. Yesterday I got down 12 oz of shake made with milk. I am retaining so much water -my feet and hands are swollen and I have not lost weight really. I feel weak. I am 61 so I guess I am not expected to bounce back as quickly as I did when I was younger. Please let me know if someone has had similar experiences. Thanks and hoping to hear from you.
