Patty, I met Simon once ..lol as a patient. I know him as a nurse. I got to see him in February. Graber wasn't going to be until April. I figured , I was that much closer. I see his office people every month. He said 2-3 days in the hospital. We have monthly, lifetime support mtg, given by patients. This last weeks one really helped me figure out if I wanted the sleeve vs the Roux NY. I'm scared as heck... But I want my life back .

Dsmithrn.. You walked your dog on day 3? That is really great. I figured I would still be in the hospital..lol

I tried for decades up and down and getting bigger and bigger. Could barely fit on the bike with my husband last year!! Had enough and got sleeved five days ago! Doing awesome and following docs orders to the tee! I have an awesome doc! Checks on me every day! I don't regret a thing!! Yes the first night was difficult because my doc doesn't give heavy narcotics so we don't get constipated... But it was a short time and well worth it! No I couldn't do it on my own. Happy as a clam that I don't feel hungry constantly!!

Drummer girl, I'm sure you will be all set. Your doctor seems to feel it medically necessary so insurance should approve. I am the day before you. 2-3 days in the hospital then home to start life all over. My area has monthly support groups that help us out as well. They are given by other patients and offer so much support. I have last 8 lbs so far.

Michelle-Rose, I am in Central NY... Hoping to have a date in mid May. Lost 6 pounds so far. Since the weather is nicer I can walk outside again. I am going to center f Excellence so I have that in favor. Scared .. Oh yeah.. But I need my life back and can't take this yo yoing stuff any more. I go to surgeon again on Thursday this week.

I have a date.. June 9. Anyone else with me? It seemed to go so smooth so far. I'm glad to be post-op during the summer so I can walk and swim easier. I need all the encouragement from this group. Thank you in advance.

Any any sleeves in this group from Central NY

I'm so excited for you. It's 343EST and you are probably already done with surgery. I go Thursday and hopefully, will get my date. I am hoping for mid May. Keep us informed of how you are doing. And I will keep you in my prayers.

Anyone see it
