I just found out about this app tonight. I was excited about the surgery, but after reading a few post op threads I'm pretty darn scared. :-/ my journey to surgery was a quick one, but not hasty. I need to hear a few positive things from those post op if anyone is willing.

I had my surgery on Monday and have no regrets. I got a little scared reading some of the threads here, but I also had a lot of faith in my surgeon.

My surgery was at 7 am and I was home by 9 am the next day. I was in a good amount of pain that lasted a couple days, but as of this morning I feel great. I was up walking around a couple hours after surgery. I had some nausea, but it was controlled by medicine.

I'm not going to weigh in until Monday so I don't know how much I've lost, but I'm confident this surgery is going to help me loose big!

Good luck on your surgery!!

I am 11 days out and doing great - no real issues at all. Drinking okay, still on liquids and haven't really had a lot of pain, some of course, but I did just have major surgery. I did take my pain killers as prescribed (liquid lortab). I have done exactly what my surgeon told me to do from the beginning of the whole experience, including the Post-Op diet and am happy so far. Walk, walk, walk before and after surgery.

Some people have different experiences. Mine so far has been all positive.

Meli1234 and Liberated Sleeve, thank you SO much. I really need to hear these!!! I started to panic a little.

I know how that feels I started to feel like that a couple days before surgery, but I couldn't be happier that I went through with it.

Meli1234 thanks again.... Thanks for adding me as a friend. If I could figure out how to do any of that through my iPhone, I would. Lol! I find the app to not be incredibly user friendly from my phone at least.

You're welcome!

I had my surgery 9 months ago and I've lost 141 pounds so far. It has completely changed my life. It was by far the best decision I ever made. I completely understand about your fears and worries. I felt that way too. But I am sure you will find that it is a wonderful thing you've done and you will be so happy!!

Had my surgery on January 12th. Have had a little trouble keeping my energy up but absolutely NO sickness, pain, or regrets. As of this morning I have lost 60 pounds in a little over two months! You will be fine.
