The morning of surgery was the hardest part for me. As my wife drove me to the hospital I kept thinking, "I've lost as much as 130lbs the old fashion way before, and I can just say no to this surgery at any time. Why am I doing this?" Then I reminded myself that I had lost and regained for the last 20 years of my life (I'm 52), that there aren't that many elderly people that are morbidly obese, and that I want to be there 30 year from now ..."

I'm almost four weeks post-op and, at least for me, that drive to the hospital was the toughest part; maybe the first two days post-op. IT HAS BEEN WORTH IT! Four weeks out I feel AWESOME! Like so many others, you will be fine too! Just keep reminding yourself about all the benefits that will come from losing the weight.

Annie -

I would love to hear how you are doing. I also had my surgery on Thursday, and so far, so good. Still pretty sore, but getting better each day. It is a struggle to get all of the liquids in, but I'm managing to stay on track. Wishing you all the best in your journey!

I'm home and doing well... Still pretty sore, but I'm only 2 days out. I spent 2 nights in the hospital because I experienced a lot of nausea, but am feeling better today, just soreness mainly. Sucking on ice chips, and have been trying to walk more... Just did another 5 minutes on the treadmill (at a whopping 1.0 mile per hour) but I'm up and moving. Thanks for all the positive wishes!!!

I'm sorry to hear about the nausea. Did they give you anything for it, or did it pass on its own?
