I had no complications the hardest part for me I think is the drain other than that I went grocery shopping on Sunday I was fine .you ll,also be ok

Good luck with your procedure today ! Your going to do just fine after a 30 day pre op diet bless u Hun:) I had a ten day diet and it wasn't to bad You very strong doing a 30 day.

I'm August 15 1wk post op.. I'm not going to lie to you guys but I will say the first 3 days are very painful and uncomfortable but I think it will be worth it ! I've always been on the heavier side since puberty and gained most of my wt when I worked as a centalized scheduler... I am 5'9 pre surgical wt 270 goal 170-180 let's see what the future holds.. I had my surgery at Rwj hospital with Dr. R .Sadek out of new jersey .. Awesome surgeon but I was blessed to have my insurance approve due to health issues .I wish us all a awesome outcome and good luck with your up coming surgery. Keep plenty of water,juices and ice pops it will get you threw.

Hopefully I get my drain removed on Thursday.. I can't wait to star shedding the pounds I'm so excited for new beginnings !

I was sleeved on 8/15 I have a drain .its doesn't stop me from going out I put on a tank top and a sun dress and I'm good to go !

I can truly say that I am nervous and going threw a lot of mixed emotions. I had my second consult with my doctor and decided to get the sleeve surgery date is 8/15/ 2012 . I hope everything goes threw I'm trying to have it before my kids go back to school so I can relax . I have already scheduled all of my appointments so my insurance will cover my procedure. Well first thing my Dr. Ask me to do was one of the hardest was to quit smoking .Its been five days now I didn't go cold turkey but I'm using an electric cigarette which helps with the cravings I've been a smoker for more than half my life that's 20 yrs smoking and I'm 33 go figure.. I was a mom at a very young age 16 I gave birth to my first child and gained 70 lbs ..lost maybe 40 and had my second @19 gained 45 lbs now I'm at 250lbs. Got an office job scheduling and was glue to my seat gained another 30 lbs in 6 yrs got pregnant @25 wait gain now I'm over 300 lbs got pregnant 1 yr later with my 4th child highest wt 315 .. I am currently 270 and my goal is 170-180 . I don't want to be too skinny I'm 5'9 and carry wt well but I'm exhausted and I have diabetes and hypertension and I'm too young for these issues due to my wt .So it's time to get that title my Dr placed on my diagnosis one day morbid obese ..Now I'm seeing things differently time for a change ..life change...new me!!
