Today makes 2 weeks since I have been sleeved, had my band in 2005 and had it removed and sleeved on 4/2014,,,,I was sleeved by dr charlotte hodges with the Barker Bariatrics team. I am so thankful that I have not had any complications. I went to surgery on a Wednesday at 630am and was released on Thursday at 120pm...I walked everyday for 1 mile my first week and then 2 miles my 2nd week. I am currently down 17.5 pounds..I am Nervous, I am Scared and I am Hopeful......I was very tired/sleepy the first 3 days but after that I was feeling back normal again. I go back to work in another week and boy am I ready.....I have no pain in my port area nor have I had any, my only pain was in the incision where they removed my stomach...Today its only sore when I wake up in the morning from laying on it during sleep....good luck to everyone, I know its scary but I believe if we stay compliant and focused we can do this!! I hope my update helps someone!! I am very new but you can IM or Pm me anytime, thanks

I am going to have the sleeve but I dont know anyone who has had it. I know people that have had the gastric bypss and have done so great with it.Do you think this surgery is as successful?
