I had mine done last Wednesday, August 20th. I am doing much better now after a couple of days. I wasnt so sure at first with all of the darn gas pains (no one warned me about those!!) but now that it has pretty much subsided, things are alot better. I am not all that hungry just getting tired of the same ol soup, protein shakes, crystal light routine!! best of luck on your surgery, in the end, it will all be worth it!!
