buff1973 2 Posted December 8, 2013 I just found this forum. I am having my gastric Dec 11. I am so excited. I started out at 462 and since I started this 4 months ago I am down to 408. It sounds like the 2 weeks after is hard but everyone seems to say it gets better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
