8 Days Since My Sleeve



Recommended Posts

This experience has been great for me so far. My Doctor was wonderful. I was given a picture of my new pouch and it looked so good. I went into the Hospital at 268 pounds and 1week later I am now 243 pounds. I thought I was going to have a hard time with drinking and taking Vitamins but it has not been a problem. I don't feel hungry or frustrated.

After 1 week of clear fluids it was great to have yogurt today. I was so close canceling my surgery the day of because I thought I was making a mistake. My wife talked to me and gave me a lot of support and I remembered all the videos I watched on You Tube that gave me comfort.

I am a type 2 Diabetic and happy to say that I am off all Meds and now and have a normal blood sugar.

If anyone is having seconds thoughts about this surgery please take your time and listen to other people with there expierances and go to YouTube and search Sleeve surgery you will find so much comfort listening to others with there story.

I can say that it really helped me with my decision.

Good luck to all and just know you will feel so good about yourself and become a new person.
