Michigan sleevers

sassy sleeved, I know the 2 options are Royal Oak & Troy? I've never been to Royal Oak. Troy is closer to me & I love Troy, its really nice. Is Royal Oak nice too? Wondering why some people choose Royal Oak over Troy?

I am closer to Troy, too, but had my surgery in Royal Oak. My surgeon, Chengelis, goes between both and he was in RO on the date I wanted. Either one is totally fine.

I'm being revised from band on October 18th at Troy by Krause. He did my LapBand at Royal Oak. Troy is so much closer to home so I was happy to have the VSG scheduled there.

I'm 2 days out post op. Definitely harder than I expected. Im starving so my stomach hurts from hunger pains and when I sip in anything, hurts going down. I'm hoping this goes away eventually? I throw up the liquid pain meds bc its so Gross and doesn't sit in my tummy well, it hurts to throw up. Whats the average amount of days your in pain for post op surgery? An estimate?

I didn't have any pain post op. I filled my prescription for pain medicine but never used it for the sleeve surgery. Glad I had the meds though because I started getting gout attacks left and right and those pain pills worked well.

@ I am having Sleeve done same day, same Dr., same hospital!! I thought Dr. Krause was so informative at the pre surgical appointment.

Maybe we can be walking the halls together!

I was only in pain for 2 days really but I stayed on top of my medicine for a week. Do plenty of walking it will help with the gas. Also try warm liquids easier to go down.

For those who were sleeved by Krause how did you keep your belly button clean? I notice a slight odor from it. I shower daily with Dial and pat dry so I don't know. Did you actually go inside and clean it out? I'm 11 days post.

Michigan Sleevers: For those who went through Beaumont's Weight Control Program, during the time you were going through all the testing & appointments, did you lose weight? At my first dr. appointment, he said he wanted me to lose 10% of my weight before surgery. This isn't an insurance requirement, just a target he wanted me to go for. I started losing but then totally went off the bandwagon. My final dr. appointment is this week and I am terrified he will reject me bc I am not losing. This is the appointment where the dr. Approves or disapproves me going forward to meet with the surgeon. Help! What were your experiences?

I don't know. It might be close.

[laura1116 112]

Does anyone know if Dr Krause weighs you at the hospital the day of surgery?
