I'm in Nashville too, Vandy, just starting month 2 of ins required 3 mo dr supervised weight loss program. Going with Dr Williams. Very confident in the whole team and their life-long care program. It means a lot to me that they just don't take the money and run. I've researched and googled seriously for the past year. In the patients with a less than desirable outcome, it seems like they didn't have a support group/groups, or thorough post surgery care and follow ups. Hopefully I'll be taking the plunge in February or March... Find myself attending quite a few "food funerals"... But I'm learning to count protein!! Started taking a great organic liquid vitamin and mineral supplement. Please let us know how your surgery went!! ❤️

Surgery went great. Was extremely tired and drowsy yesterday. Sleep most of the day and most of the morning. Very sore at the big incision. Hurts to move up and down. I am not really hungry. When I do it i feel nauseous. Hoping it will pass soon. Thanks for all of the prayers!

Great to hear!!! And I'm so impressed that you're keeping us updated day after!!! Dang!! It really means a lot to me that you're sharing your experiences with us... And I'll be watching for your updates as you heal up perfectly! ????

update day 3 (i am not counting the day of surgery)

day 1 slept a lot I was in a lot of pain due to the big incision. hard to move up and down. i did not walk that first day at all I just wanted sleep.

day 2 i just wanted to drink Water and eat Jello the Protein was not my friend. still very sore. had trouble sleeping last nigh i was very shaky and I think it was due to lack of protein.

Day 3 (which is today) woke up took pain meds and it and I have drank about 4 oz of protein this morning and feel so much better. Doesn't taste the best but I do feel better. I am going to take a nap then try to go for a mile walk. Walking really does help! Gas has not been that bad thank goodness! pills have not been hard to take. This might be TMI but I started the day after surgery and it has been one of the worst TOM. It is very heavy. hope this helps everyone.

things i have noticed: I am not hungry at all, smells weird me out and i don't like to be around others while they eat even though I am not hungry.
