Surgery went great. I am a little soar but no gas :rolleyes2:. I have been walking and sipping with a spoon to make sure I am not gulping. My doctor was Dr. Manuel Castro, He was wonderful. I did not have go 2 week on per op diet, it was just 24 hours for me:lol:. I would like to hear everyone day of surgery. If I had to do this day again I would very easy.

I just got the call from my surgeons office yesterday that the insurance has approved the surgery. Next step is work up/tests on April 27th. No surgery date set yet. I am very nervous. My weight has been up and down so many times since I was in my 20's (I'm 55.) I've been mentally preparing myself for a life style change. Glad that surgery day was good for you. That's encouraging.
