Hi guys. Well I'm 2 days post op. The 4 hour drive home was not pleasant but nonetheless, I'm here now Surgery went well. I have to be honest and say I thought I was going to be in a lot more pain than I was. I didn't experience gas pain in my shoulders but rather across my lower ribs. One tip to help reduce the gas is to walk. My worst pain was in my back. I'm not used to laying on my back for most of the day and this caused very unpleasant pains in my mid and lower back. At present I have no idea how I'm going to get 1.5 litres of fluid in but I guess day by day my intake will increase. Other than that its done and I begin another chapter of my life

Thank you so much. Will definitely keep you posted. So very glad I found this forum..

Starting weight 92kilo. Goal weight 62-65 kilo.

I'm from South Australia and finally after waiting 12 mths for my private health insurance to mature, I am scheduled for surgery in Adelaide tomorrow . Nervous but very excited...
