I am getting mine done on the 28th of this month. I was excited at first, now I am scared and nervous. How was the pain afterwords and mental habits with eating?

Hi 

my pain was gone two weeks later. I exercise daily, walk the dogs in the morning for 3 miles, go swimming for 45 minutes and then I do cardio exercise in the gym. I returned to work a week ago . I have not lost a lot of weight (15lbs) but I lost inches. I'm wearing my jeans that I last wear 6 years ago. I developed an allergic reaction to my sutures . If it does not get better within one week I have to have them removed.

Eating will be tricky. I'm still working on it. I focus on protein food to get my daily must in. 

Let me know how your surgery is coming along . Good luck to you. Don't be frighten it is a life changing experience but you will notice your health getting better right away. My blood pressure is under control,I stopped snoring, I can walk without pain in my foot and knee. I do it again !
