Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your support. I had my gastric bypass 4 days ago and am soooo happy it's behind me. Woke up in a decent amount of stomach pain in recovery, they gave me pain meds and wheeled me to my room where my parents were waiting. From there it was 2 nights/3 days of managing pain, walking, resting, fluids and talking with family about how positive this will improve my life. My pain got a tiny bit better everyday and is continuing to get better. Laying on my side is still painful but getting slowly better. I recommend anyone about to have it do, to just focus on the positive because the first few weeks are a little rough, but it doesn't last forever.

Man, I am so glad to hear you are in such a good place emotionally. Can I as you a few personals? DId you have to have a cath? I have never had one and am terrified of it, obviously. My dad said they are not as bad as you would think. Also, I have been told I will be in the hospital one night. Did you have laproscopic or the more invasive way?

I really appriciate you taking the time to let us know. I am getting so excited/nervous. It is just two weeks and two days away for me.

Thanks man,

Kip
