I feel really good, thanks for asking! Gas pain is the worst and some stomach spasms when I drink, but its managable. Not hungry at all. I plan on being completely off pain meds tomorrow and I barely had anything today! I havent had any buyers remorse so far!

My surgery was at Abbott Northwestern and I had a phenomenal team, but I think we are lucky to have so many great hospitals in the metro that you will be well taken care of too

Hi- fellow Twin Cities member here. Which surgeon at Abbott did your surgery? I’m pretty sure that mine will be at United but I can change if I want.

thanks!! Megan

I have a friend who had her surgery at Methodist and had good results. Must be exciting that it’s finally almost here! I’m Megan from St. Paul. I’ll be having my surgery at United hospital probably April or May. It’s great to “meet “ others from Minnesota/ Twin Cities!

What part of St. Paul are you in? I am near Como park. Are you getting excited for your surgery?

I am but it is so far off yet for me that I don’t want to get super excited yet in case something goes wrong with the approval process. I see the surgeon, nurse and dietitian on Nov. 28th.

Which surgeon did you choose? I chose Svensen. Hope I chose wisely!
