Hi Kari, Good luck to you on your surgery date! I am just a few days ahead of you 10/26/04. I hope you have a successful surgery and an easy recover. Congratulations Robin G DS 10/26/04

I am 5 days out of mine and am doing OK. Things I"ve been prepared for (pain, food, slow eating, etc) have helped, but still am sore and in shock that I went through with it. A nurse told me that I was brave and that many back out at the last moment. Not me, I've waited for it. Now if I can learn to like "Hi Pro Bariatric Shakes". (LOved them at first, now I don't want to ever see one again).
