Surgery went better than I ever expected. No issues Post Surgery, from recovery room on. Next day had some pain from the CO2 gas, but after that night, No pain medicine. 2 weeks later I was able to hit golf balls and play! The Liquid diet has been relatively easy to follow and no hunger at all. Weight is coming off quick so far.
As I get ready to go to soft foods, it will be interesting to see if anything changes.
Wish I had done this earlier, but once I decided, I was decision to surgery in 3 weeks.(had been talking to my surgeon for 4 years, on and off).
