    Only 6 days out and I can't sleep through the night either. I could that sleeping on my back works of I have a ton of pillows to keep me at Ann angle like when I was at the hospital but then I get a soreness on my bottom. I can sleep on my side for about r hours but then I wake,up wide awake... My boyfriend was amazed because the other night I actually slept for 6 hours.

    I have lost a lot of weight during my six-month required pre-op diet program, so my friends are all saying the same thing. When I explain to them that I still have another 100+ pounds to lose, and that the surgery is going to be a tool to anchor the second half of the weight loss AND (more importantly) the lifelong maintenance, they usually see the point, and become very encouraging.

    I had to go to an urgent care center about 1 week before my surgery on 10/3/16 and found out I had gout. The doctor there actually tried to talk me out of the surgery. He congratulated me on my current loss of 30 pounds but told me because I am in a commuter relationship and happy and very healthy looking I should not have it. When I told him it my choice to,have the surgery as a tool for healthy weight maintenance he backed off and was happy for my resolve. Sometimes I think,they try to test how willing you are to stick to the change and use your tool.
