Mine only took 2 hours. My surgeon is also the Chief of Bariatric Surgery here so guess he has lots of experience!

Yayy!!! Good luck!!

Oooo yea I don't think I will make it to Chicago. Lol your husband is all that you need!! I only told my family and 2 friends about my surgery because people can be so negative sometimes. I will keep you in my prayers, I know everything will work out! I am 38 & I felt the same way, I wanted to live!!!

NO you will not be able to drive yourself home, you'll still be on pain meds. My stay was 2 days with no complications. BTW I'm almost 3 weeks post op. I'm so sorry you don't have support from your family & friends! I joined this site about 4 days ago & I've seen the love everyone gives to one another so I think you have come to the right place! What I can say is, if you have made your mind up please don't let transportation stop you!! Take a taxi!! Heck if your in my city Concord NC or close by I'll be more than happy to drive you there and pick you up!!

LOL yes!!! I'm 17 days post & I keep saying its like I'm pregnant. I haven't smelled breath yet, but perfume, certain foods and definitely protein shakes make me sick!!! I hope this changes soon!!!

Concord,NC right beside Charlotte,NC @ NE Medical

I am 2 weeks 2 days post op & yes I get the same pains especially in my top right incision where the tube was inserted for the drain. I just figured my body is healing... My doc removed my staples last Thursday & he said everything looked good!
