Hi, I'm Noelle.
I had the sleeve installed on Nov 1, 2012. It took over two years to get there but I finally made it. I'm still in considerable pain but I suppose that is to be expected. I'm suprised over how much my arms hurt. I guess pulling my giant body in and out of bed to avoid using my abs as something to do with that. My left hand is also incredibly swollen from the IV.
Anyway, no regrets and I'm super excited to start my new life.
