I've had a crazy easy time. It's been kinda werid because I've been known to have a really diffcult time with most things. I guess I was just saving all my luck up for this.

Hello! My name is Samantha and I'm 23 years old. I'm currenlty living in New Orleans, La and I'm a full time bar tender. I was sleeved just 8 short days ago. So far I'm feeling amazing. I had my sleeve done by Dr. David Treen at West Jefferson Hospital in Marrero, La on Monday April 30th at 7:30 am. It was a pretty easy time for me all and all. He said the surgery went perfect and there was nothing to worry about. I went to my mothers house after a one night hospital stay. I took my last dose of pain medication on Tuesday May 1st at 8:30pm. So far I haven't had any real pain to speak of. I guess that I'm posting this to inruduce myself. When I started my jounrey I joined another forum, that I love, but have found that there is not many sleevers on there. I came here in hopes to find some of the answers me and the other sleevers are looking for. I hope to be a strong part of this forum and that I get to make lots of new friends a long the way. -Sammie

That's great. Congrats!

Congrats. You look amazing.

I am one week out. I can tell you that I miss food. There is nothing more that I want then some hot french fries. But there is no way I regret my decison. I'm looking forward to do day that I can look in the mirror and feel good about myself, or I can climb a couple flights of stairs with out feeling like I'm going to die.

Congrats, that's amazing.

You are in my thoughts. I hope it all works out for you.

I am currently using the AMP series from GNC. It has 20g of proetin when mixed for 4 oz of water. The vanilla is pretty good, the cookies and cream is yucky. I'm going to try the chocalte next time.

I'm 23 also, and had my sleeve done Monday April 30th. At just a week out I feel great. My energy is only a little down. I have moved to full liquids everyday and so far I can say everything is going great. My mom has been totally with me through all of this and I couldn't be more thankful.

Thats awesome sweetsuise! I love NOLA. It got in my blood. I've been here for 10 years and don't think I'll ever leave.

Hi! I'm in New Orleans and a week out from surgery. My surgery was performed by Dr. Treen at West Jefferson Hospital.

I live in New Orleans but my mom lives on Slidell! So Hi! I'm a week out myself an it would be nice to meet sleevers in my area.

saintsammie I'm new to the app and to this site so I'm looking forward to making new friends.

I'm so happy to hear this. I was worried I was streching myself out already.
