Just an update. I am one month post op now and down to 285. Things are going well with everything but the vitamins. The chewables are getting tuff for me. Anybody have any ideas for maybe the gummy type and if they have trouble getting them down?

Hows it going, I am a week post op and want a chew real bad.

Thanks for all the replies, it is early Saturday morning right now and I have been dozing in and out a lot since the surgery completed Thursday morning. I have had very little pain and no nausea from the procedure. The worst part for me has been getting rid of the trapped air inside me, I will tell you that it is painful when that air gets up around your shoulders but it is not unbearable. My surgery took place at medical city in Dallas and the people there were great. My Dr. Gregory Barnes did a great job on me. Start of Pre-op diet 344, day of surgery 323, two days post op 315. It already working!!!! Make sure you get up and walk as much as you can after surgery it really helps get rid of the air and helps your stomach relax.

I am two days away and the pre-op diet has been a challenge but I am almost there. It did seem to get easier for me after day 3.

I am having the surgery this Thursday 10/23 at medical city by dr Barnes. Really excited and nervous at the same time but overall glad the time has finally come.

My name is Mike and I currently weigh 325. Surgery is in 2 days and very excited.
