Hi,
I can relate to your feelings. I had surgery on May 13th and have felt the discomfort and pressure in my middle area. It it going away little by little each day. I've thought a few times about it this was the right decision given the pain and discomfort. I've come the conclusion a couple of days of discomfort is definatly worth a lifetime of health and normal weights. Best wishes and think positive you will feel better soon!
