Hi ... I had my sleeve done on Aug 8th. I've lost 23 lbs. With 27 more lbs to go! I had a very difficult 3 weeks ... I was so tired all the time. I was nauseated and felt ill at that same time. Now, I'm starting to have more energy and I'm so happy with my decision to get the sleeve done. It limits what I eat!! I had to pay out of pocket because my insurance said my BMI wasn't at 40 and up. I feel that it was a great investment on myself to start living my life to the fullest without my weight being an issue. Looking forward to my new me!
