kissing, terrible spell-check , like to throw it!

I am EXTREMELY excited about my upcoming surgery this Monday the 26th, I'm on opiate blockers meaning pain meds just do not work for me and I'm nervous about the pain. I am sure I'll survive and I knew this going in. I just find having the surgery outweighs not having it. I can't wait to meet some of my fellow wls peeps and build a strong support place I can go , here with y'all. I know my surgery isn't a cure all but because of it I've had the strength to stick to my two week Protein Shake diet pre op and that's something I'm super proud of. I truly believe this is the tool to help me get my weight under control and help with better eating habits. You guys here give me hope and I can't get enough of your stories, I haven't commented much but I've read numerous posts just sucking it all in. Thankyou guys for sharing your experiences as they don't fall on deaf ears.

I had a post-op appointment today - two weeks post-surgery and I've already lost 31.5% of my excess weight!

I just had my surgery on the 21st. The only thing I can say is that I’m extremely exhausted. Please tell me this get better.

Same here. Surgery on Wednesday, came home Thursday. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but I still feel pretty beat up and sore.

Got approved on the 16th of November by the doctor. Surgery scheduled for November 28th, 2018. Cannot wait!

Just had mine on Nov 19th. So far so good. Basically no pain except for one of the incisions, but very minor. Indigestion/heartburn was bad days 1-2 but is fine now (not sure of that's the meds or not).

Felt a million times better after getting up and walking post-op. 3 Day hospital stay.
