I had my surgery yesterday. All went well, fair amount of pain, but doing fine. Lying in my bed just trying to take it all in. Let the journey begin.

I need a man's perspective on the whole process...I am having mine on the 16th...send me a message filling me in. Congrats on having it done!

Awesome and congrats!

Well done Med! So happy for you! It's goung to be an adjustment - but it is funny hoe quickly one falls in with the programme. Very soon you are going to feel so wonderful i promise! Please remember that when the dark clouds come. Because they will come. But in the end you are going to be so happy. That is a promise.

Same here I'm at home in my recliner, getting ready to take a dose of pain meds, but actually not in much pain (I have a high tolerance to pain), but it does hurt to get out of the chair. Found being in a recliner doesn't hurt as much as getting out of a bed. Nor do I have near the gas pain. And your journey has begun to a new you. Congrats.

Thanks everyone! Will be going home tomorrow. Pain kinda sucks right now and nausea... ugggg

Congratulations! It will be crazy for a while but you'll be so glad you did it!

Yay! Happy for you! Hope u have a speedy recovery~

Welcome to the beginning of a whole new you

I'd be more than happy to talk to anyone wanting a mans perspective. I had surgery July 29th and I'm down 55 pounds in 6 weeks. My hospital does have the strictest diet I've seen though. 2 weeks Clear liquids. 2 weeks full liquids. 4 weeks puréed. 4 weeks soft foods. I'm in my second week of puréed and so far (knock on wood) have had 0 complications and no dumping at all. Also have had no foods I can't handle.
