I did to... you just really need to find a doctor you trust. I know its hard especially having a medical background.. we tend to make the worst patients.

I had never had general before this surgery, and everything was fine. It was the weirdest feeling; after they inserted the IV, I just relaxed, next thing I knew, it was all over and I was up and walking to my room. I didn't even have any nausea afterwards. As a med student it may be even worse, knowing more of what can go wrong, but talk to your doctor and they'll reassure you. The results of this procedure far outweigh the risks! And to do your job, you're going to need to be in top shape!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
