I am scheduled July 23 in Dothan AL! Anyone else in the area?

I live in Ariton, but I had my surgery in Pensacola.

How long has it been since your surgery? Why Pensacola? Any helpful hints or advise? I'm beginning to freak a little.

I had surgery on June 12th. My parents live in Pensacola, and they told me about the surgeon there. We were all very impressed with him.

I understand being nervous about surgery, but this was the absolute best thing that I've ever done.

Yay for you! I am really happy for you. Any advise will be appreciated. I only started really trying to lose 7/4. As of today I'm down 8 LBS! SHOULDVE tried harder earlier. Anything you can share to help me with liquids? How long before you were feeling okay? I have small children & I'm worried about being out of commission for them. Thanks. for your help

I didn't have to do a weight loss trial, so I ended up eating everything that I knew I wouldn't be able to have after surgery, and gained about 20 pounds before surgery. Liquids were extremely hard for me. I did 4 days pre-op, but didn't stick to it post op. So as far as the post op diet, I'm not the best one to talk to . I felt pretty good after surgery. Just walk as much as possible. The port area is much more sore than the rest, but it gets better. The first week I couldn't lie down due to nausea, so I had to sleep in the recliner. But it wasn't too bad
