I have been morbidly obese for a very long time. I found out about BariatricPal.com on reading a book about the sleeve.
In 2009 I had bariatric surgery with a Realize gastric band installed. Weight loss for very good. But at two years I leveled off and stopped lossing weight.
In 2014 my port became infected and was removed. But after months of the wound sight not healing the entire lapband was removed.
After prolonged period of healing I decided to pursue gastric sleeve surgery.
The surgery was 25Feb2016. I was at the hospital for two nights and was released to go home on 27Feb2016.
