Hello my name is David! I weight roughly 340 lbs and have been pursuing bariatric surgery since June of 2015. I just came across this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I just had my sleeve procedure yesterday at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, IL. I Plan on sharing my journey here And using this forum as an educational resource. If anyone else on this forum happens to live in the area of Illinois I would love to hear your experiences with the surgery as well

Had my surgery yesterday at st. Alexius medical center in Hoffman estates IL recovering from the gastric sleeve procedure

So I got bad news... Something weird showed up on the X-ray and they are making me wait I'll be on nothing but ice for 1 more day and tomorrow they repeat upper gi to make sure my stomach isn't leaking. I'm not in any pain with the pca they gave me, but one other thing I was concerned about was the inability to pass bowels or urine just yet. They had to drain my bladder with a urine catheter 3 times in the last day. Hoping that this takes a turn for the better and my recovery process and liquid diet can begin tomorrow
