Tomorrow I go under the knife to change my life. High blood pressure high cholesterol sleep apnea starting off at 277 hoping to be down to 175 one day. A little nervous about the process and recovery.

Good luck! Your new journey is beginning! Can't wait to be in your shoes :-) Let us know how all goes :-)

GOOD LUCK! You will be fine, bless

You are entering a new chapter in your life.

You don't say what surgery you are having but whichever one it is you'll do fine.

I don't regret mine 99.9% of the time. That .1% is in my dreams that I have and what I act like towards food I don't have any more.

I feel great from having this surgery because I'm off diabetes meds, blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and a few others.

As for my sleep apnea it's changed and I'm going to be retested to see if I still have it.

Good luck and be well.

Oh sorry I'm going in for the gastric bypass Roux-en-Y

Here I am 72 hours out this surgery is no joke when it comes to the pain side of things. I feel like a car ran over my abdomen. But I guess this is the rough patch. Try my first protein shakes today and some of the multivitamins recommended kept both down without an issue. thank goodness the protein shakes really had me scared from everything I've heard of.

Scratch that 48 hours out

Good luck, eschy! You'll do great! You made the decision to take control of your health and now your journey begins. Soon, the pain will be a distant memory and you'll see the great results of your hard work.

Eschy I heard the first week is the worst but if you hang in there everything else will get better and you will start feeling much better. Keep up the good work, I heard that walking makes it better fast and gets rid of all the bloat and gas which can cause pain. Feel better because you are on your way to a new wonderful life.
