Hello everyone!

I just wanted to say thank you for all the words of kindness and great advice you've given me and my wife. I leave for the hospital in about 15 minutes. My surgery is on Thursday morning, and I'll be in the hospital for 5 days post-op. I will write about my experience as soon as I come back home!

I must admit, I'm very excited and scared at the same time. I've never been under anesthesia before - a "big & strong" man like myself shudders at the thought. Still, The doctor has been very reassuring to me and my wife.

You are ALL amazing people to share your stories and experiences, both the ups and the downs. They have all helped me understand that I am not all alone in this. Thank you all again.

Big hugs! Everyone take care and I'll talk to soon!

Tony

      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.
