My journey began last March (2011). I went to a seminar featuring a local doctor that specializes in weight loss surgery. After some prayer and research, I decided to go with the Vertical Sleeve. My surgery was done on 8/8/11 and I remained in the hospital for 2 days. There was a lot of pain and some vomiting but I made it through and went home on time.
Now it's almost 3 months later. I have lost 52 pounds with set backs here and there.
