during surgery? You will be out, dont expect anything. After surgery you will be sore for a few days, nothing to bad, just rest and take it easy, stay hydrated.

so true Waynef! I barely remember them taking me down for an x-ray afterward. I think I remember drinking the contrast but to be honest I'm not sure. lol. Natbug2011...blessings to you and congrats on your decision for the surgery. Your date is my birthday...so I'll remember and say a prayer for you that morning. :)

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
