I don't like pain at all. Where u in alot of pain after surgery? How many days did you take off work? Did u have to do the 2 week pre op, if so how did u handle it? I should be scheduled for surgery around December but the thought of only nasty shakes for two weeks is killing me

I went to Boca Raton, Florida and my surgeon was Dr. Shillingford. I was a self pay and he charged 10,500 all inclusive. Fantastic surgeon!!

When i first woke up after surgery and i was in recovery i remember the first thing i said was it hurts...i almost forgot what just happened...but once i got the pain meds i felt much better. Once i was on the floor..it wasn't really pain that i felt it was more discomfort then anything. I had my surgery on Tuesday and i was back at work the following Wed but I also have an office job. What do you do for work? And i was dreading the 2 week shake diet. I will say the first 3 days were the hardest but then i got used to them and it was a breeze and i was not even drinking the 5 they say you should drink. Drinking lots of Water through out the day also helps.

I was def nervous as well. I never had surgery before this, but i knew the benefits outweighed the risks. I had HTN, pre-diabetic, and also PCOS, I can now say..no more blood pressure medications, blood work is back to normal, and my body is finally returning to normal. Even as I sat in pre-op that morning i kept thinking I should just leave, but i'm so glad i didn't. This has def been the best decision i have ever made, and Dr.Munoz did an excellent job. I love his nurse practitioner. I actually went to the support group for the first time last night and it was great. Anymore questions just let me know. Def wish you lots of luck!!
