Hello Steve! I was a December 3rd sleever. Hope your surgery has gone well. I'm 35/M/CO. SW: 436 DOS: 399 GW - low 200s. Things have been going surprisingly well for me....pain is manageable (2/3 on a 10 point scale) and I can sip 5oz of water in around 15 minutes. I'm sure the cocktail of painkillers and anti-anxiety meds are contributing...lol. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using BariatricPal mobile app
