Hjoel 36 Posted July 26, 2015 My surgery was ruff I had complications. My suggestion to you is to walk as much as possible even if it hurts. Always remember why you're doing this even when down. There will be times when you're wondering wth have I done! Do not get discouraged! The dangers of long term obesity is much worse than any gastric complications. Take a good look at your old body because your life is about to change 100%. Congratulations on a huge step towards health! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rnsamantha 352 Posted July 28, 2015 I live in Gilbert, AZ. Had my sleeve done 6/25/15 by Dr. Fang with the Bridges Center (St. Luke's). Down 24 lbs since surgery and just over 40 since the start of my 2 week preop diet. No complications (so far). I was quite nervous as this was the first time I had surgery in my life, but was very satisfied with my Dr. and the hospital care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
