1. Yes.I left hospital dec 24 and there's a dinner party in my house. Just figure how much food i missed that night
2. Pain is ok but i have also a hernia repair and that is more painful than my surgery for gastric.
3. I planned this whole thing. I have 2 kids already and had ligation after my 2nd kid and waited couple years for the insurance to get approved then got this surgery LOL
4. First couple of days.... hmmm mine is pretty nasty. It is my 2nd day of menstruation and it is really "heavy" then add to that i had constipation - sorry for being too graphic but this is reality. It is hard during the first month. My doctor placed me on a liquid diet. When i saw the fats melting then i become more motivated to loose and started walking during my break time and lunch time at work.
