Hi all. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing? Everyone feeling ok? Progressing well? Any regrets?

@@JustJaime5 no regrets!!! 49lbs gone in 31/2 months! I probably should have lost more but I'm not exercising yet and I have a desk job... I'm very happy!!! I want to lose 15lbs before I start exercising!

Love my sleeve!!! <3

What are the differences between the surgery center and the hospital? Surgery date is July 21st for the sleeve with Dr. Abkin.

Hi jimmy... I can't really speak to the hospital be I didn't go there. I think they stay overnight one or more nights. My surgery was done at the florham park surg center on 12/9/14.
