tami88 73 Posted February 17, 2013 I am at the airport leaving to go home. I cannot believe its done and my journey has started. Crossing the border both ways went well for me. I met tons of fellow sleevers and the staff and Dr. We're all amazing!!! I liked the nutritionist a lot. The hardest part for me was I felt tightness, left side from the drain was sore and I was dizzy off and on. And the first time going to the bathroom was hard because I was so looped up on meds. Each day did get better and as I type this I feel pretty darn good. Low cal Gatorade goes down smooth. Thank you all for your thoughts! Mine are with you as well. Here's to the loser's club soon:) Tami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tami88 73 Posted February 18, 2013 Can you elaborate on your experience and give any advice? I'm still trying to decide between the sleeve and plication. Deborah Hey Deborah, Welcome to the site. Check out my blog and I go into the detail about what to expect. I personally wanted the sleeve because I need a life long change and the sleeve sounded perfect to me. I did meet people when I was at the OCC that were getting the plication. They said they liked the idea of having a choice. I personally am sooo tired of the up and down and wanted a life change. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
