Hey there I had my surgery March6 2012. Hardest, most scary yet the best and most rewarding decision of my life! It's normal to be scared but as time flys by, because it will, and the pounds are shed off you will be so happy of your choice to embark on this journey. It won't be easy, and yes possibly painful and you may encounter negative comments and even haters as you transform into a healthier happier you, but all that willhave been worth it. Stay strong and best of luck. I have my 1 yr appt on march7. And I am still 7 lbsfrom my doctors goal a little disappointed but I think I'll make it in do time:)

yayyy Carroll! It's one decision you won't regret! When I first woke up from my surgery, I have to admit, I did have a minute of doubt. The first thought to cross my mind was "What did I do to myself?" I know it was the groggy head feeling and the pain talk. Because the next time I woke I was ok and got a dose of pain med. It took from 2pm to 1am for the fogginess to lift from my head. Then it's been all good. so far it's going smoothly. I'm able to get in my 60-80 grams of Protein and at least 6 cups of liquids...definitely 8 counting the protein shakes/broth.

Good luck with your surgery. It'll be here before you know it.

March 5th for me. I'm in Western Australia!! Good luck.
