Had my surgery on January 12th. Have had a little trouble keeping my energy up but absolutely NO sickness, pain, or regrets. As of this morning I have lost 60 pounds in a little over two months! You will be fine.
I am 5'7" and weighed in at 275 right before Christmas last year. Visited the surgeon and he took it from there. My insurance paid all but approximately $750. I was sleeved on Jan 12, 2012 and as of this morning I weigh 211. 64 POUNDS in 2 months! CRAZY!
