Hi everyone! My name is Jeff. I just had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on Monday, April 8th. Dr. Sergei Lyass performed the operation at Marina Del Rey Hospital (MDR, CA). I am feeling no hunger and getting stronger everyday. My biggest complaint would be the JP drain, but it's not a big deal. I have some pain and a slight bit of nausea, but I'm feeling good about doing this. According to my scale, I've lost 11 pounds in 6 days.
