Yes it is so far... Lol

Ha Im so nervous

It really only sucks for the first 5-7 days.....after that I was feeling pretty normal. Was back to sleeping on stomach by 2 weeks out.

Well I guess I'm just lucky. I never had gas pain or had to use gas x. I didn't even have trouble sleeping. I wish everyone had it as easy! I think being young helps a lot.

I was up and walking around as soon as I got to my hospittal room. I left the hospital the morning after surgery.pain wasnt to bad.

I agree about the gas pain.....it is terrible!!!! It is trapped in your abdomen/cheat from surgery...it took about 5 day for mine to work it way out. I was sore bending and getting out of bed, but it is worth it. Today I am down 92.6lbs and completely happy with my decision. Ever heard the expression...no pain, no gain?? Just think of it like that

Anyone of you guys on facebook? I'd love to watch some of your progress and connect Seeing shrinking pictures is so motivational. Only issue is MOST people on my fb don't know I'm getting the surgery, but we can talk in comments and stuff
