    I had mine done May 13th in Frisco, TX! First few days were pretty hard but now that I can drink more liquids I'm doing so much better.

Hi, first post here, getting mine on May 29th in Atlanta, GA, really excited too. Pretty much listening to video blogs of people who have had it done all day while I am working. Happy to see people who are getting it done around the same time as me, will be great if we can keep each other updated on how things are going.

Hi Sam3789. Who is doing your surgery? I live in Atlanta as well

Had mine done May 13th. Started at 205. Im down 15 pounds in just a week!!!

That's awesome snoopyt2, Dr Macik out of Northside is doing mine

Had mine May 11th. I agree, the first few days are rough but Im a week out and feeling no pain at all. Just gas pains and trying to drink/eat enough to meet my liquid/protein goal. Its tough!

Hello new me

I am having surgery next week. I am just curious of how your first few days were, are they as bad as I keep hearing?

Hello! My dr made it very clear to me that I would definitely feel like I had surgery day 1 and I did. Honestly it wasn't the pain it was the nausea the got me, I would try to throw up but would get scared I would hurt myself. I was also very tired and I just wanted to rest, and we all know you will not rest in the hospital. I even asked my family to not visit me, day 2, for a few hours so that I could REST! Day 5 at home for some reason I felt very bad and had some pain, not enough for pain meds though. Everyday I get better and better. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have a smooth process. It is hard the first week but it will fly!! I do suggest to not over do it!! BEST WISHES FOR YOU!!

Edited by hello new me!

Thx for responding! I had to wait six months and I thought it was a long process but now I just can't wait to get past the first few weeks. Best of luck to you too on your journey ????
