Yes, I had my surgery 10 days ago. It's going pretty well so far, but I am looking forward to advancing to the pureed food stage this Friday, because I'm a little tired of the same old same old :)

I have actually told a fair number of people about my surgery, but not everyone. I kind of have taken the attitude that I would take insulin if I had diabetes, so why wouldn't I do this to combat obesity? Also, I've come to realize that I don't care as much about what people think as I thought. With age comes not giving a @#$&!

Well I'm guessing you have had your surgery by now...CONGRATS!

I'm going to be 10 years out in a couple of weeks. There have been a lot of posters over the years who never told anyone but immediate family even after they had WLS.

Hi Ginnny! My suriverysary is coming on the 15th so I've been thinking about my Lws's!! How are you doing?

Thanks for asking! Things have gone pretty well mostly, except I seem to have a pull/strain in my right abdominal wall. I talked to nurse this morning who advised ice, Tylenol, and an abdominal binder. I'm a pretty active person, so this is a bit frustrating. Getting fluids/shakes/vitamins/yogurt etc in each day, and it's getting a bit easier every day.

Thanks so much!
