My name is Debra and I had the Gastric Sleeve on December 17, 2014.  The surgery went well, but I have experienced pain in my abdomen since the surgery.  That is how I found out about this website and this community.  It has been so helpful to hear of everyone else's experiences.  I am from Bethlehem, PA and had my procedure at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest.  Dr. Boorse was my surgeon.  I have contacted my surgeon since with my abdomen pain and he has said it is from a prior Hernia surgery I had and the muscles need time to heal back.  This has been very difficult to go through considering I have kids and a hectic schedule to try to keep up with.   I hope to continue to receive support from this site as it has been so comforting to communicate with people with the same issues etc.  Thanks all!
