Surgery this morning

[chubilicious 12]

Had my sleeve done this morning in Long Island with Dr Shawn Garber. Nothing short of an excelent experience with Mercy Medical Center. I am laying in my bed with minima pain, rather just soarness and looking forward to trying my food intake tomorrow. So far so good. Good luck to all pre sleevers.

Glad to hear. Was yours done with the robot? Mine was, and I had no pain and haven't any problems since my surgery....I really think it's because of the robot, Hope everything continues to go smooth for you. .

When u say robot do u mean the single incision? If that is what u mean it wasnt. I had the regular lapro. Because my torso is too long for the single incision. I am a big boy. 6'5". 400lbs. I dont have much gas pain at all and i walking every two hours with no problems. Dr Garber is doing 5-7 of these surgeries a week no deaths no leaks , so i knew i was in good hands. Thank you.
