Hi Everyone! This is my first post. I had gastric sleeve surgery on June 9th. (Yesterday)I am still in the hospital but so far so good! Just wanted to let anyone who is nervous what to expect my experience has been good so far. Surgery was one hour. I was in pain when I woke up from surgery but as soon as the meds kicked in I was ok. I was up and going up the bathroom a few hours later. Hard not being able drink anything the day of the surgery but got through it. Once you have your X-ray you are cleared to have some liquids... I have never been so excited to see chicken broth. Took 3 sips and I feel full! So far I am so surprised how good I feel. I'll take it one day at a time. Wishing all other upcoming sleevers the best!!!

Hi.. Dr Gristus did my sleeve surgery and he was excellent. My surgery went smoothly and I healed quickly. I am almost 3 months post surgery and down 60 lbs. I would highly recommend Dr Gristus.

2 months 1 week out and down 56 lbs and feeling great!

Hi! I am in Passaic County. Had my surgery on June 9th with Dr. Gristus at Chilton. Dr. Gristus was amazing. I had an easy recovery and feeling great. Good luck to all!

That was so creative! Love it. Congrats!

I got sleeved on June 9th. I was home for 2 weeks and this is my first week back at work. So far everything has been going well. I am trying to get all my fluids and protein in and typically do. I was at work today and got really dizzy and almost fainted. Has this happened to anyone? Is it common? I know my body is still getting used to the cut in calories etc. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You look great! Congrats!

Congrats! Amazing!

Thank you! I had a protein drink and I am starting to feel a bit better

Hi Jennifer! I was sleeved June 9th also. I am doing pretty good. I still have pain but been trying to walk a lot. I have been trying to get all my liquids/protein I came close yesterday. I did sleep for the first time last night through the night! That felt good. I wish you and everyone an easy recovery.

Ahh! Surgery date 6-30.. Sorry I missed that!
