Hello everyone I got my surgery done on Dec.31,2014. It's only been almost 4 weeks but I feel good. I was in the hospital for only 1 day and only had pain for 2 days. Also everything I drink or eat now always goes down smoothly and pain free. Thank god nothing has made me sick an I can tolerate everything. When I started this journey to lose weight I was 410 pounds which was pretty scary... The day of surgery I was 347 and now I'm 328 also just because I've had good luck so far. Doesn't mean it's not hard and scary but I know it's for the best. I love this site and how supportive most ppl are. I hope my story can help someone out there and remember I'm new and still have lots of questions but I'm willing to share what I know so far. God bless you all!!!!!!

Thanks I'm having surgery on Friday and not going to lie pretty scared and keep on reading and reading but post like this is what keeps me going thanks....

Congratulations on your tremendous progress! I too am one of the lucky folks that have not experienced dumping syndrome. I however do not like anything that is sweet which is great for me because I was a sugar fiend before my surgery. I simply stay away from it at all costs.

CONGRATULATIONS! I HAD BYPASS ON 12/24/14 WAS IN THE HOSPITAL 3 DAYS BUT I LIKE YOU HAVE HAD A PRETTY SMOOTH RIDE. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ALREADY. HOPE TO KEEP IT GOING.
