Ok so I am now 90% convinced this is the surgery for me. What can I expect to eat, do, feel, look out for, etc. The minutes/hours/days after surgery? Thanks so much for your help!

Hi guys! I'm Lisa, 33 years old 300lbs. When I started this journey I first thought the band was the right choice for me. After taking my pysch evaluation and asking questions, I am thinking the Sleeve is going to be a better fit for my life. Biggest reason, I travel A LOT. I travel for work abou 45% of my time and I am concerned about getting refills etc in a timely manner. The center I am signed up with uses laproscopic surgey to do the VGS, but I am not sure if that requires an overnight stay in the hospital or not. I am a self pay patient, so I guess I need to find that out :thumbdown:. What have your experiences been, does anyone wish they would have gone with the band? What can I expect as far as recovery, etc? Thanks for your help, Lisa
