Hello everyone! My surgery was April 8th. I came home on the tenth. My surgeon was fantastic. I had a hiatial hernia repair done also and a drain left in until yesterday. The PA came into my room and removed it there and said I was well enough to go home. I have to say the whole experience was better then my expectation. I went for a long walk today==three actually==and feel great. Have some stinging in my gut when I bend over low but it's no big deal. The more I walk the greater I feel. If I could give anyone my most important advice, its to keep to your preop diet --NAIL IT--and your recovery will be a good one. Preop weight 285, CW 272,GW 145.

My surgery date is April 8th and I am doing my pre op diet right now. My surgeon is Dr. Johnathan Wallace from the Kane Bariatric center. He tells me I will be in the hospital for a couple of nights. Am having the sleeve done at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. BCBS has been good for me too. Approved in about a week. I really appreciate the whole Kane Center. They have taught me that the sleeve is a tool to help me loose weight and the nutritionist is wonderful. I AM going to lose this weight to get healthy so I can play with my grandkids.
