My name is Kristina. I battled for 2 years trying to get the lap band. Every time I would get close it was 10 steps back. Finally I went to Stony Brook University Hospital and met with Dr. Dana Telem. She talked me into doing the sleeve and it was full force ahead. I am now 4 days post-op and feeling good. I did laundry today, took a nice shower to get the goopy sticky stuff off my skin from the monitor pads, and of course doing my protein! I spent 2 nights in the hospital. I did it Monday the 16th and on the 17th I was so upset... had total 'buyers remorse' and wasn't sure if I had made a bad choice. After talking with the doctor and her nurse I felt much better. started getting my protein down and my water and felt better every hour after that. Im relaxing right now because I do fear I may have pushed a little hard today. Im ready for tomorrow and to keep plugging along.
