City: Airdrie State: Alberta | Officially Banded, and feeling fine...
H Gents,
Well my adventure has officially begun. I had my surgery this morning, everything went great. Feeling a little bit of the gas pain, but, nothing as to what I had prepared myself for. I actually feel really good, a little stiff, but all and all, I feel great.
Better run as it is time for painkillers...
Q

Thanks for your warm wishes guys! Still going strong, pain is not bad at all.
I just got a call from my best man for my wedding in June. I told him what I had done, and to my surprise, he was very supportive. Guess that's why he is my best man.
I kept my surgery very quiet prior to heading out here. I have received a couple of calls, and it actually feels good to let it out. Janelle's sister and brother in law also found out, and they were supportive as well. It's all positive so far.
Who did you guys tell?

City: Airdrie State: Alberta | Sugery Day +1
Gents,
Day 1 post op and I am feeling great. Pain is very, very managable, although I rolled onto my stomach last night in my sleep, not the best idea I could have had, but other than than that, things seem to good to be true.

I have to say that EVERYONE I've told has been really supportive. I don't think that I have the Best Dang Buncha Pals in the Whole Wide World, but I do have intelligent friends who see the need and understand the process.
Q, good to know you're going strong. And turning onto your stomach during your sleep says that you're doing well - if it had been too painful, you'd have woken up.
Crossing my fingers that mine will go as well...

Thanks Bro,
I am sure your surgery will go off without a hitch too. My mom wasn't very supportive when I told her, but everyone else has been very supportive and it is as though letting people know, lifts a great weight off my shoulders.

I've told people here and there and really have had mixed reactions, which is a bit of a bummer. Not that I'm looking for buy-in, but it the mixed reactions is kind of a bummer. When (not if) I start losing weight and people ask, I will tell them. Otherwise, I am not telling anymore people...
Q - holding everything down ok so far ?

Hi Mike,
I have had some coffee, and juice this morning, and everything is staying down fine. I've even had some burps which is good.

Mike! You should probably skip the gym today. You don't want to go into surgery dehydrated and fuel-depleted...

The immediate postOp weeks were the most enjoyable I've ever had....except for the immediate months and (now) 3+ years....
Each day is opportunity and leads to unexpected insights and joy!
Cheers!!!
