Very happy with Dr DiBenedetto and his Staff

[warrior68 16]

I just want to give a HUGE thank you to my surgeon Dr DiBenedetto of Western Bariactrics of NY, this guy has been spot on 100% perfect with everything. Honestly the only painful day I had was day one right after my 7am surgery, and a small portion of day two was a bit uncomfortable, I stopped even using the night night button (morphine drip) after day one, and have taken no pain killers since then. Dr "D" and his staff know there stuff, and do a amazing job. Dr Dibenedetto and his partner do the sleeve with a slightly dif process than most, and had a surgeon that is known in the sleeve surgery as a pioneer of the process flown in to observe during my surgery, long story short this other "pioneer of the process, or guru" is now going to be doing his sleeve surgeries the way Dr "D" and his Partner do it now. I feel very lucky that I had three well trained surgeons in the room during my surgery, and I am sure the three of them all shared knowledge on each portion of the surgery, which may be why I have had very little pain since the surgery, and I am pretty much pain free at this point unless I move the wrong way. I have not had the bad gas pains people talk about, I did have some small gas pains that went away with a couple burps, and farts, then I was fine. I can already sleep on my side with no pain whatsoever, and I move around extremely well. I am still on the Clear Liquids diet, but will be moving to full liquids in two more days, then about 10 days until I get some mushies. I feel like I could do mushies right now, but Dr "D" says its best run the full course on liquid diets portion before moving to mushies, he is very matter of fact in everything he says, so I feel he must have his reasons.
