CNTWT2BMINIME 78 Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks CNTWT2BMINIME. Yes I teach cake decorating so I could just leave my students hanging. I would have stressed out so much. But this way I can have them finish out the class and start a new one then give them 1 to 2 weeks off. Dr. said that since I work 2 hours and I could sit I might be able to go back after 1 week. But I'm not going to push it. I wanna take my time healing the right way. ' Good thinking.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EcuaTrucho 10 Posted October 4, 2012 Im having surgery at good samaritan hospital with Dr Richard Nguyen on October 10th. Next WEDNESDAY!!!!! Im so SCARED!!!!!! I had mine done at Good Sam too on August 1st and Dr. Nguyen was my surgeon. He has a wonderful bedside manner and the staff at good Sam were great. It will go by really quick, I was really nervous the day of the surgery but everything went as planned and I'm 2 months post op and down a total of 107 lbs. and 53 lbs. is since my surgery. Just stay on point with your liquid diet, I know it's hard I had to do 3 weeks. Take it slow after the surgery and be careful with the morphine, that's what had me sick not my sleeve. Good luck and keep us updated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
