the hardest part?
Waiting 6 months for insurance to approve it ;)
And then, in my case, not being able to eat or drink anything all day the day of surgery (it was postponed until well into the evening).
Once I was home after surgery, I never really had a problem.
I'd say these days the main challenge is that I really can eat quite a lot, and it's very easy to graze. 6 months out, you will need to work harder to follow the rules, but you can, and they will still work.
