    Why did you pick this surgery?

    It's really not that bad...I was scared too. The band is dangerous. I didn't realize how dangerous until I started having problems. I'm sore from surgery but my pain meds take care of that. It's only 4 days and I lost 10lbs. and I don't feel washed out. I start my vitamins on Wed. I very proud that I took the step. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Fresh postop RnY

    I feel very good considering I just had surgery 2 days ago. I've been able to eat jello, yogurt and plenty of fluids. Going to have creamy soup tonight. I have 6 incision sites and they look great. Dr Garth Davis said my surgery was Video perfect. I am so glad I don't have any drains. They removed a lap-band. It feels great to finally cross the hurdle of having the surgery done. The waiting and liquid diet had me very nervous. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
