Hi,
The experience was good. Dr Halpin hasn't done a whole lot of sleeves, but she's very seasoned in RNY and seemed very confidant in her sleeve ability, so i decided to go with her. I have no problems (other than my own doing.. haha), and she was attentive to all my needs. She is ok - personality wise. Not horrible bedside manner at all, but not necessarily the 'chattiest' person either. Which is ok with me, since i wasn't looking for a 'friend,' know what I mean? She was easy to contact and called me two days after being home to ck up on me. I would recommend her.
I had insurance, so not sure what self-pay is. Sorry. Good luck to you!!

Ok, i know i'm totally crashing in on the guys party, but i'm a nursing student and have a question. I have taken care of obese patients with this issue so i'm quite familiar with it.
My question is...at what point of becoming overweight does it begin to ... well... hide? Like what is the process? At 50lbs overweight is it halfway gone? All gone? what??
Just trying to understand the male body and appreciate all it's facets.

I am 12 days post op and still have a hard time sitting in a chair, much less be on the computer. It will get better with each day. Also to remember, never trust a fart this early out.
Keep up the good work and in no time we'll all be at goal!
