I have gone thru 3 spinal fusions and went to work the morning of one of them. I spent 3 weeks in hospital with spine infection and my spouse brought me lunch on Saturday before heading out to the lake house. She just does not do well just sitting around and would have driven me nuts. Lol. She not supportive of my having the sleeve done. Just thinks I love have surgeries. Ya right. My conservative agreed with my having the sleeve done to get off all my meds cause when I go on disability when I turn 65 in May I won't be able to afford them. I am at BMI 33 his comment was we have to put some weight on you.
