Hope your surgery went well! Mine went pretty well, I had a lot of pain at first but am now off all pain meds. Hope you are doing okay...

What unexpected things have you experienced with your spouse or significant other while going through this process?  I am scheduled for surgery in one week.  I'm a little nervous about changes with me and my lady.

What if it's 15 days long and you have a violation meal on day 11?  I'm on day 7 and have been dedicated and lost 15 lbs so far.

I don't want to sound whinny, but I am going to start my pre-op diet on Monday.  I am not looking forward to it.  I have all the groceries I need, but I am recovering from a bad Upper Respiratory Infection and still feel

My surgery is scheduled for the second week of July.  I am very excited, but also going through a lot of emotional swings.  Are there things that the Obesity Help community wish they would have done during this waiting period that you can share with me

It took a lot for me to get the courage to get bariatric surgery.  I was locked into the bypass.  Dr. recommended the sleeve.  I'm scared of failure.  I wanted to lose 180+ pounds from 401.  Can I even come close with the sleeve.  Anyone out there swit
