I can tell you I really have no idea what to write. I'm 3 weeks post op and I am down alittle over 20 lbs from surgery.
Starting weight 281
Surgery weight. 271
Current weight 249
My experience was when I got to the hospital a day early there was an opening and I took it. I didnt really like the area where we wait right before surgery...there are swinging doors for the operation rooms and unfortunately I saw someone having surgery for a split second. The nurses were great with telling me everything that was happening using Google translate. Dont recall any of the surgery..lol. I remember them waking me up which they were nice about. When I made it to my hospital room I was completely comfortable, that night I ended up having 2 other people in the room having surgery the next day..(they kept talking about food and wouldn't allow me to rest)
It was quieter after they had their surgery
The nurses took great care of me and made sure I had ice chips and popsicles.

I cant see much difference in my pictures but I do feel different. Each day I feel better and better. Having the weight loss surgery is the best thing I've ever done for myself.
