Congrats and hope that you're doing well!

The best advice from me is to follow your doctor's post-op plan to the letter. I lost most of my weight in 4 months and all I did was do exactly what they told me to do, literally. That means with food introduction, supplements and everything!

Best of wishes to you!

Thank you! I have been doing everything that the doctor has told me.. I'll make sure to stick to it!!

it gets better everyday. sounds like you are off to a great start

I had mine 5 days ago. Feeling good so far. When I cough deeply is kills me, other than that things are good. I am concerned about not really having bowel movements. Maybe that is more than you want to discuss but I am getting a little worried. Hope you are feeling well

Actually I just had my first bowel movement yesterday, but I had to take a stool softener. Yes I am feeling well! Hope all is well with you!!

I had my surgery on 7/14. Was doing great until today. Having some major gas pains in my left shoulder. I get my drain out Tuesday and can't wait!!

I get gas pains every once in a while. They took my drain out before I left the hospital. Just want to warren you, it does hurt a little when they remove the drain.. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions
