Hello I'm 23 I but I had been considering the surgery for a few yrs before. Would love to chat. I'm a little over 3 months now and my SW 318 CW 235. Hows everything going for you so far?

Good for you that's a great achievement! How is everything with you now? Things are finally getting better on my end. the first couple weeks were so hard

Well im glad things are getting better for you actually I have not had any problems at all, not even with food. So far. But I've just been trying to take it one day at a time.

Thanks! I'm doing okay for the most part. Just awful lower abdominal gas pains! I should be going home today, and I'm terrified for them to pull out this drain tube! Lol

I didn't have a drain tube but hopefully it goes well for you. I did have a catheter and I was terrified of that being put in but fortunately I was asleep.

Thank you and I will definitely take that advice. However even though I'm 23 I also wish I'd done it sooner.
