  1. The only bill I've received so far was for $47,000 I had to pay $0 insurance actually paid $4400. I believe this was the hospital bill only.
  2. I see you are in L.A. Check out The Association of South Bay Surgeons Dr. Solomon did my surgery, very personable and caring.
  3. I work in a dental office (business manager) I was sleeved on 10/15, I went back to work on 10/22
  4. I've never had kids and as I said before I have a low pain tolerance. When I was in the recovery room the gas pains were pretty bad they gave me some strong stuff, but I remembered that a lot of people on here had said that waking helps so as soon as I was able I walked and it did help.
  5. I have two small incisions above my belly button and that's it, when they heal I don't think I'll have a scar. I also started my period the day I came home from the hospital. I'm 10 days post op, on full liquids just watery protein shakes, water, and broth. I haven't taken any pain meds the bottle was never opened, I feel blessed to have the surgeon I did, since my pain tolerance is very low. 15lbs down and diabetes seems to be gone ????
  6. I'm 8 days post op and I walk 2 miles a day split, 1 mile in the morning about 25 min and one in the evening. I also take my dog out 3 times a day for 10-15 min walk. My surgeon told me when he discharged me that I needed to walk an hour to two hours a day.
  7. I was sleeved yesterday 10/16 at 11:30 am, came home today at 5 pm haven't had to take any pain meds yet. I have 2 very small pin hole incisions and one larger one in my belly button, my stomach is sore and I can't lay on my side. The pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The worst pain was in recovery from the gas, the gave me dilodin.
  8. I'm scheduled for Wednesday too... Good luck ????

  10. October 15th!!!! I'm so excited
