Hi Im from MI not sure what they do in MA. but here we had a 3 hour class on what to expect with our surgeries and our diet , pain mgmt , we all recieved a booklet telling us what to do every week after surgery and gave us all our scripts. it was a very informative class..My surgey was done May 6th 2013 and for me it wasnt a bad experience at all, very minimal pain started out weighing 275 and am 229 now. I am eating regular food some things agree with me better than others,
but all in all I havent been doing too bad..If you have any other questions feel free to ask..
