March 28Th Surgery

[SusieQs 4]

I just found out about this app tonight. I was excited about the surgery, but after reading a few post op threads I'm pretty darn scared. :-/ my journey to surgery was a quick one, but not hasty. I need to hear a few positive things from those post op if anyone is willing.

I had my surgery on Monday and have no regrets. I got a little scared reading some of the threads here, but I also had a lot of faith in my surgeon.

My surgery was at 7 am and I was home by 9 am the next day. I was in a good amount of pain that lasted a couple days, but as of this morning I feel great. I was up walking around a couple hours after surgery. I had some nausea, but it was controlled by medicine.

I'm not going to weigh in until Monday so I don't know how much I've lost, but I'm confident this surgery is going to help me loose big!

Good luck on your surgery!!

I am 11 days out and doing great - no real issues at all. Drinking okay, still on liquids and haven't really had a lot of pain, some of course, but I did just have major surgery. I did take my pain killers as prescribed (liquid lortab). I have done exactly what my surgeon told me to do from the beginning of the whole experience, including the Post-Op diet and am happy so far. Walk, walk, walk before and after surgery.

Some people have different experiences. Mine so far has been all positive.

I know how that feels I started to feel like that a couple days before surgery, but I couldn't be happier that I went through with it.

Meli1234 thanks again.... Thanks for adding me as a friend. If I could figure out how to do any of that through my iPhone, I would. Lol! I find the app to not be incredibly user friendly from my phone at least.

I had my surgery 9 months ago and I've lost 141 pounds so far. It has completely changed my life. It was by far the best decision I ever made. I completely understand about your fears and worries. I felt that way too. But I am sure you will find that it is a wonderful thing you've done and you will be so happy!!

Had my surgery on January 12th. Have had a little trouble keeping my energy up but absolutely NO sickness, pain, or regrets. As of this morning I have lost 60 pounds in a little over two months! You will be fine.
