Just had mine done recently. Didn't feel any type of pain really, aside from the gas I had from the CO2. And other than the damned JP drainage tube, I'd be entirely fine now, too, lol. Oh well, it comes out this Monday, so I can't complain by much now.

Just had surgery on 4/21 with Dr Illan at Oasis of Hope Hospital and everything went great. I was in and done so quickly. Each step of the way was like clockwork. I was a little dizzy and nauseated after surgery, with some gas pains, which did eventually passed with walking and moving after a day or so.

I'm feeling pretty good today. I was up and showered this morning by myself, got my makeup and clothes on... Ready to go to the hotel for the two nights before heading home. It feels great to be post-op!

Did someone just say pizza??? I wish I had pizza flavored jello! Day 9 of 12 on liquid diet. I'm so hungry, I could eat the box the pizza comes in!!!

I hear you I wouldn't mind having a pizza Jello myself 9 days out and I get hungry but we can do it it's going to pay off

Absolutely! We have all worked so hard....I just keep thinking about all the things I'm going to get to do that I can't do now. But I'm really looking forward to is being able to shock people who haven't seen me in a while!!! Is it Thursday yet??? Good luck!!!

Congratulations! I got my call from the hospital too. I need to be there at 8am Monday morning and surgery will be at 10am. Looking forward to this and getting off this liquid diet! Lol

Awesome!!! Yeah this clear liquid diet is the absolute worst [emoji30] wishing you the best!

Congratulation !!!

Hi Cass!

I'm feeling wonderful, thanks for asking! The ONLY possible complaint now is every now and then, I'll get some discomfort after I swallow something. It's very rare now though. I do get fatigued a little easier, but I'm sure that has to do with taking in less nutrients (on full liquids this week). Honestly, I can't believe how quickly the healing has happened!

I finally got a scale and weighed myself. As of this morning, I've lost 23 pounds! 10 were pre-op and 13 since last Tuesday.

My surgery was done by Dr. Luis Cervantes in Tijuana in case that's who is doing yours. He was wonderful!

I totally know what you mean about wanting to back out, but you're gonna do great and it will be all worth it. I've had my hard days, and I'm sure there are more to come, but I'd do it all over again. I already feel so much better and happier. It's hard to explain how much your taste buds and desire for food change after the surgery. There have been times where I thought I would kill for a chicken fried steak, but at this point, I'm just not as interested and I rarely feel hungry.

Best of luck to you! You can do this!

April 26 is my surgery date.

Congraulations

The only issue I'd say I'm having is with my incisions. They sting sometimes and two still have stitches that I have to remove on my own. Other than that I'm ok
