Just had surgery done 4 days ago and was self pay at puget sound surgical. 16k. Worth it! 2 year program. Will save that in less than 2 yers based on lifestyle change.
I'm on day four. First day and second you'll need help but just keep walking around as soon as you can and sip sip sip. Quicker you get water and protein and get the air in you out you'll feel great! Day 4 and hardly any discomfort!
