I woke up tired. Walked within a couple hours. Had no pain, just discomfort that the hospital drugs took care of. no nausea. Took me a while to pee, but no real issues. Sure I'd do it again. Remember it's ONLY a help. YOU still have to change your relationship to food.

I woke up(when I actually remember it) feeling groggy and sore but nothing I couldn't handle. I did get nauseous but the nurses were great about giving me meds for that and it went away instantly. I was lucky and had no complications. I was up and moving right away. The anesthesia stays in your system for a bit after surg. For me it was a mind set, I chose this, I needed to cope with it and not be a baby. And I was going to follow everything to a tee

I woke up happy it was over and happy to hear all went well. But I couldn't stay awake. My husband was talking to me and I would just fall asleep mid sentence. It was later that evening until I got up and walked for the first time. I ring the call bell a couple times for pain meds, but if you stay on top of it, it never really gets to the point that you are too uncomfortable. It's too early for me to say if I would do it again or not. Maybe when I see some weight drop I will feel like It was the right thing for sure. I had successfully lost 54 pounds pre surgery and was still losing every month, so in the back of my mind I wander if I kept eating my new healthy way would I reach the same goals without taking this step. But then I have to remind myself how many times in the past that I lost weight and then gained it back plus! So deep inside I know I did make the right decision. I am almost two weeks out and feeling great. I never had one of those days I was prepared for where I just wanted to lay on the sofa and cry. I have had energy and a good attitude so far on this journey. I wish you the best.
