I have many medical conditions that put me extreme risk for any surgery. My surgeon and his team prepared and prepared me for all complications. Death, fighting for my life, in intensive care, starting the surgery and closing without the sleeve happening. My surgeon and I planned and had procedures and tests for 21 months. I had my surgery on October 5, 2022. Everything went great. I stayed at the hospital for about 24 hours. I have cirrhosis, so I took pain meds very little. Nothing, not even Tylenol after 2 days. I had no trouble walking after surgery. Let me say, I had open heart surgery to remove a large tumor, cardogenic shock and fought for my life in intensive care for almost a month, 6 years ago. So, everything is relative, maybe this surgery seemed so easy because of prior experience. The one other thing, that had surprised me is hunger. I feel hungry, not head but actual hunger. Hoping that will pass. Good luck.
