  1. Hi! I am 3 weeks out from having my sleeve. I worried about it until I had found the right surgeon that I was comfortable with his success rates and he also had no leaks or infections add of yet. I also have small children and waited a year to absolutely be sure. It's natural to be frightened but having confidence in your surgeon is very important. I have had no complications and I am down 30 pounds so far! So was 230 now 200.


  2. I made the decision to have my sleeve when my diabetes was severely effecting my kidneys. I of course wanted to lose weight but that was the determining factor for me.

    I am very lucky to be a nurse who works on a surgical floor. One of which is a wonderful bariatric surgeon. I went through the process pretty quickly. My starting weight was 243 and day of surgery I was at 230. This is my 3rd week post op and I am down to 206.

    I feel great in all but I am still having trouble eating the recommended Protein and maintaining my Water intake. I feel full very fast. I can drink a Protein Shake which helps.

    I am looking forward to seeing more weight come off!
