I am 5 days post op as of 3/5/14. I decided to have the surgery after I found out I was pre diabetic. I already have fatty liver and I can't want for that to reverse. I decided on the sleeve because I wanted a more permanent and restrictive approach to long term weight loss. I carry all of my weight in my belly.. I looked pregnant for the past 5 years and I'm tired of that look. I deserve better and I'm treating myself better now. I want to be in love with myself. I am excited that my journey has started. My surgeon removed 85% of my stomach and repaired a hiatal and umbilical hernia. It was a very painful recovery because of the hernia repair. Everyday I am becoming more intune with my new stomach. This was the best decision I ever made.
