Oct 27th,
1st week followup is tomorrow. No real problems so far. Lost about ten lbs from the weight they took upon admitting me last Thursday. Getting the gas out the first few days has been the worst part, but that's over.
If anything, I keep thinking I must be forgetting to do something because it's going so well. I do worry because sometimes I've had more ounces of Fluid in an hour than the surgeon's notebook recommends (40oz). But, I've never gotten sick, and I can't find anything in the literature that says you can stretch the pouch early on with a little extra fluid. So, it's probably fine.
Good luck everyone!
