    Welcome!
    How are you doing?
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    very little pain so far, I still have another week of liquids only. 10 days after surgery and down 22 pounds. The only issue I had was as my stomach is healing it kinda messed with my head on whether I was full or not so I recommend taking it easy the first week for sure. good luck and I wish you all the best

    I had mine 10/11/18 and I'm still testing the proteins on what my new stomach can tolerate. It is an annoying but satisfying process. Good luck and this is an excellent group to be a part of!
