I had done so much research in advance that I really didn't have any. I kept feeling like I should be asking something but I couldnt think of anything that I really didnt already know. I was just eager to get it done.

I smoke and dont have any issues. But I think I waited about two months after surgery before I started again.

I traveled alone and didnt have a single issue. When I left the hotel I took my luggage with me. There was a safe in my hospital room but I ended up not locking anything up. Everything was right where I left it when I came out of surgery. The companions of the other people that had surgery the same day as me checked on me just as much as the staff did. Throughout the whole experience there was never once a time that I thought I should have brought someone with me.

I live in Houston and had my surgery in Tijuana. For my return flight I booked my seat in the section with extra room in case I was uncomfortable. I was worried about blood clots so I wore compression socks and moved my legs and feet around often. I also had a plastic bag with me in case I got nauseous and could make it to the restroom. Turns out everything was fine. No trouble at all. Good luck to you!

Congrats! that's great progress!

I felt the same way at first but then when I started chewing food I knew for sure my sleeve was working.

I stopped applying dressing when there was no more Fluid coming out. One of them wasnt completely scabbed but it seemed to speed up when I quit covering it.

Oh, and I also looked at my wife's breasts the other day and noticed something sticking out below my gut which I have not seen for over 15 years!

I have noticed that when I drive or sit for extended periods I end up hunched over almost like I am crouching. The fat that used to hold me up is gone.

May 1st is my surgery date. This all happened very quickly for me. I started researching the sleeve about 3 months ago and now its a reality. I finally got my husband on board and the time off from work so I paid my deposit today. Even though I have researched endlessly and done a tone of planning as soon as I hit send on the deposit I got extremely nervous. Its a good thing I don't have too long to wait because my nerves couldn't handle it!

I'm scheduled for May 1st.

It's almost time!

I have to ask -- why do you keep doing all of this to yourself? Your posts are really memorable. Pretty quick after your surgery, you were asking about eating chicken wings while you were watching the Super Bowl. When you were on vacation in New Orleans, you asked about alcohol. A week or so ago, you ate onion rings and they made you sick, and now you are eating too fast and eating bread.
I mean absolutely no judgment -- for instance, I'll have a drink or two occasionally now that I am this far along -- but it seems like you go into things knowing that they will produce an undesirable result or discomfort, but you do them anyway. And then you regret it later.
Just an observation. Definitely stay away from the bread, though. Nothing good can come from it.
Good luck!

Thanks for this info!
I have not read the post but it would be helpful to know her level of obesity and any medications and pre-existing conditions she had that may have led to her death.
I'm a nurse so this makes me sad for her family but I also understand that any surgery is a risk.
If the death rate is climbing with a specific surgeon I'd definitely research their methods and practice.
I think this is great information and a good prompt for all of us to know the success rate as well as failure rate of those who we trust with our lives.

Hi guys I am May 1st for a sleeve as well! I've been in the process for a year now.
