I had my surgery last Thursday and all went well. Came home on Friday and am recuperating with no real problems. I can honestly say that it hasn't been too bad. The pain is tolerable and I only need about two doses a day of the hydrocodone. I am tolerating the liquids fine and am looking forward to the soft foods in a few days. There aren't even any stitches - just the steristrips. The best part was that I lost 16.5 lbs during the two week pre-op diet! An awesome start to my new life!

Welcome to band land!!!!!!! Congrats.

Hopefully we will see you at the support group and hear more about how it's going.
