Congrats! It's a great feeling to be over the hump with the surgery, isn't it? Best wishes on fast healing. You should feel pretty proud of yourself at this point for making it past the first hurdle!

Hi Bestarcher,

Congratulations on the big day! I hope you are feeling better and the gas pains are starting to subside. I’m in the process at Lahey, Burlington and if all goes well I’m hoping for a surgery date late July.

I really hope you had a good experience with them. Was there anything that you would have done differently? Did you like your surgeon? Any advice for a newbie?

I would love to hear all about your experience.

Best wishes for a quick recovery!

It's good to hear that you are doing so well!

I am waiting to hear back from my surgeon with a date. Looks like maybe mid June or early July. I'm getting banded at Beth Israel in Boston.

I know how you feel... tons of gas pains... in my sides, and shoulders... just don't feel myself yet. HOw long till they told you that you could have mushies? My surgery was the 21st... they said 4-6 days... I'm wondering if that's too soon.
