I've had 3 before not a big deal - they will give you a twilight sedation you won't remember anything. I never had a sore throat or anything. You do need someone to drive you home because of the sedation. The procedure only takes like 15 minutes.

Hi had mine this week. That was the thing I was most worried about - how I would wake up - would I be dazed, nauseous , etc. I got a patch behind my ear to help with the nausea and then they gave me something in the IV, I woke up normally talked to the nurse that was there, went back to sleep for a little bit. It was all good. The morphine in recovery did make me sick so I went off of that.

You look amazing!! Keep up the great work!

Good luck that is so exciting!!! I know there are risks to all surgeries and the anesthesia but this is generally a pretty safe surgery. Can I ask what doctor is going to do the surgery?

That would be awesome!!!

Hello I have a BMI of 33 - I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I'm considering Gastric Sleeve it would be self pay. I've tried weight loss medications as well as weight watchers and Jenny Craig with no success for the past 4 years. For those of you at this BMI or lower are you happy with you decision - and would you do it again knowing what you know and what you have gone through? I know it is a permanent, life altering procedure so I'm currently doing all of the research now. Thanks!
