@saltlife

Dr Jessie,she only works with the instrument called the butterfly?? U only have 1incision? Or do u have 4to5? Im asking because I started with her and ended up with DrA. her office took to long to move forward with me and that was one of the reasons I originally choose her.

Doing pretty good thanks. I went in to surgery yesterday, came out with 4 incisions...but they are pretty small so no worries there. I really didn't even feel like eating surgery day with the Clear liquids, but the day after I'm pretty empty stomach. So I just made watered down cream of wheat. Today, I can feel this small pressure in my chest where the band and I assume swollen stomach are. Other than that, I feel pretty good thanks!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
