I was sleeved on Monday 7/30 and thank God i am doing well!! My surgery eas fine except that dr Z discovered a hiatal hernia and repaired it. I came home on Tuesday and have been sipping, walking and sleeping with bouts of energy for doing things aroind the house. My pain comes from the main incision from which the stomach was removed from. Down 3 lbs since Tuesday!! I pray that everyone else is doing well. for those waiting, the time will fly by.

Dr. Zelda sleeved me on June 25th. I'm happy. He found a hyatial hernia (spelling) while he was in there and fixed that too. Really nice guy, very passionate about what he does. Yes! He's very handsome!

[Michele T 48]

And he's as kind as he is handsome and he's VERY handsome!

When I went in for surgery I made my husband and some family members Cookies to have at the hospital while they waited for me. I was going to bring in some for Dr. Zelada too. My husband said ...."why don't you wait and see how the surgery goes....LOL". I brought him some raspberry bars at my two week check up and told him what my husband said...he laughed. He went out of the room for two seconds and came back....mouth full and said I already had one...I'm not sharing these with anyone! I'm glad he liked them.

Hello Michele,

I hope all went well for you today. It was great meeting you also. Please let us know how you're coming along

Hello Dr Z Patients,

Just wanted to check in. 5 days post op and feeling GREAT. Day 1 and 2 were challenging but each day following has been significantly better. I don;t regret this for a moment. I started on full liquids today and started drinking my Premiere Protein, it never tasted so good! 3 oz later I was full. Took the dog for a walk, been going for 3 days now but in this heat neither of us can stand more than 20 mins. I poured my pain meds down the drain this morning. I don't need them anymore and with 7 years sobriety I have no desire to have narcotics around my house.

How you new sleevers doing and to those of you waiting, I'm so excited for you!

Michele
