Kaiser's Options literature is pretty outdated and seems much more geared toward bypass candidates. 2 recs: get the book The Sleeved Life. It's better than Options and is an easy read.
Come to a Kaiser weight loss surgery support group. They met once a month in various locations. These groups are free and open to everyone. You don't even have to belong to Kaiser.
Also had mine on 12/17. I had high hopes, but it has gone way better then I anticipated. I waited 9 months after the pre-op diet.

I'll be writing up a full 'tell your story' when i get half way to goal, but just wanted to chime in on your post.
I'm feeling normal. I literally feel exactly the same except I have a smaller stomach. I've been really motivated to exercise and have been averaging 4 miles a day on walking/cardio machine workouts. I'm throwing out/donating fat clothes. To say I don't regret my decision is a huge understatement. Couldn't be happier.
