Just had DS Surgery on May 3rd

 Hello everyone, my name is Miguel and I just had the DS surgery on May 3rd.

So far so good.  In some pain, but getting better each day.  I spent my birthday in the hospital on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo).  This was my bd gift to myself to get to a healthier weight.  

I just wanted to post and say thank you to all who contribute to this site.  It is extremely informative and really helped me make the decision to move forward with the DS proceudre.

I will keep in touch and share my walk and experiences.

Congrats and happy birthday!!

That is great! Here is to wishing you a speedy recovery!!  :)

 Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes and the words of encouragement.  Can't believe its been a whole week today since having my surgery.

Still in a lot of pain put trying to ween myself off the pain meds.  Plus I have an annoying drain to deal with.  I will be very happy once the pull it out.

Im also getting better and drinking more and more as I am more focusing on keeping myself hydrated right now.  It was tough the first several days to even take a gulp.  I guess that's why they kept telling me to just sip sip sip LOL.

Thanks again everybody.
