So it has been 2 weeks to the day of my surgery. I have had no complications. I am on a puree diet with no issues.

I have lost 23 pounds since surgery day so far. My BP is 120/70 and my wife said I am not snoring (sleep apnea) like I used to.

I have to say this has been a good decision.

My only gripe is I will be making a nasty phone call to the Dr office because I was quoted $875 for anethesia and got a bill for $2125.

A little bait and switch?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
