Congrats Joe!! I am only 5 days post op and glad to hear things get easier! It isnt as tough day by day not getting solids but the water intake is my biggest struggle!! Like you said I cant chug a bottle of water so sipping with the added factor that I still need to get those 64 oz in seems like thats all Im doing ...keep up the good work I cant wait to see your continued sucess!

I too went to the seminar thinking I was going to do the Lap-Band but after hearing more about the sleeve it seemed to be a smarter route. I was a self pay patient as well which makes you alot more causious of the after effects and keep up with the surgery. With the Lap-Band there was alot of maintenence that would be costly not included with the beginning fee. I also like how the sleeve is a more permanent tool and 'makes' you aware of what you are putting in your body vs the lap band doesnt give you as much restrictions I believe. I had my surgery December 6th with Dr Hoehn, he was absolutly amazing through the whole process and offer a pretty good promotional fee. Im still pretty sore and am worried about getting dehydarated but making sure I SIP SIP SIP right? lol
