You need a really good support system if you're thinking about doing this. We have to be committed because the procedure is not easy. I got it done in order to prevent future health problems added on to the ones that I have now. Just because you want to stop eating, it's not a good excuse. To be honest you really have to to put your all into seeing this procedure through. I have had the Gastric sleeve procedure done on Tuesday (7/17) I just got out today. Can't tell you much other than the uncomfortable things that happens after surgery. Like being filled up with gas and such things like that. Prepping for surgery isn't easy and if you're thinking about doing the surgery to control your appetite you will end up cheating and cause yourself some serious problems. A good support system is important also, this is a life changing experience.
I love Dr. Marr's team! They are very informative and very well organized. Anything you need or any questions you have they are always glad to help. Day 4 and I'm so happy although a little uncomfortable from being sore. I am not fatigue or tired at all. They really do help make the procedure a success, but you have to be dedicated for this life long commitment. Dr. Marr's bedside manner is excellent, he tells you he will take care of you, and he actually does. I'm a big believer in "A man has nothing but his word". Dr. Marr is Golden with me!
