firebelle10 80 Posted October 4, 2012 I got sleeved September 18th at Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox IL. It's a suburb of Chicago. I feel amazing! I'm walking between 4-8 miles everyday and I'm down 27lbs since Sept 5th. I'm ok on getting fluids and working on Protein but I'm feeling super strong and healthy! I have been off anti-anxiety medication since 4 days before surgery! Feeling great I have found that there has not been a single day I have regretted my decision. It feels like a blessing. God has given me a second lease on life and I'm going to embrace it. Wishing all the sleevers all over all my best! You got this! 4 ChinaWood, everlag, Nowhere and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firebelle10 80 Posted October 17, 2012 I had mine Oct 1st at Silver Cross. When were you able to go back to work? I am going back to work on October 19. I took 4 weeks off total. But keep in mind I had vacation time that I needed to use up. Also I'm a firefighter/paramedic so my job is very physically demanding. I felt it would be dangerous to myself, my crew and my patients if I went back early. Who is your Dr? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
