Congratulations Anthony!

good luck and let us know how it goes!

Best of luck with your surgery

Hi Anthony!

Sure you will do fine and congratulation! Make sure you get today "Chewable GasX" Overall the pain is not bad but I got some strange pain into my shoulders! IT WAS GAS! So make sure to have it next to your bed in addition to the pain meds which will just put you back to sleep. Really only some discomfort for the first few days but really not bad at all. I was glad someone on this site had mentioned the Gas X.

Also! Don't try to rush yourself back to real foods. Just do what they tell you, those first few weeks after surgery are key times for weight loss, i was feeling that I would never be able to eat again but truth is you will be eating again! (Real foods heather choices etc. ) So just give it time and work your self back like they tell you too. One great food was Egg Drop Soup! Lots of Protein, So when you get over the clear liquid stage etc.

Getting the band was a great decision for me and I only wish I had done it earlier in my lift.

Due touch base with me when you get out would love to chat some more.

Thanks for the great advice. I felt pretty good until last night. Spoke to the nurse today and he says day two and three are the most uncomfortable. So Ive been taking gas x and trying to move around. Still glad I did this and know the pain is just temporary. Thanks again.
