Well the old band comes out tomorrow and I will be an official sleever. Looking forward to the journey. Wish the band worked but we just didn't get along. Hoping this is the answer.

See ya on the other side. :thumbup:

Good Luck you will do great!!

I am also from Philly and having my surgery here too at Temple. Who and where will yours be done.

Congratulations on your Sleeve! Good luck and I hope you post often how you're doing.

My prayers are with you. Take care and let us how it went.

I "had" mine done in Abington yesterday. Felt pretty lousey yesterday after surgery but had very comfortable night. Hope to get sprung out of here tomorrow. Good lucy at Temple. It's a great hospital. Are you having a band removed also?

Good luck

My luck just got better.. They are sending me home today..

Glad to hear your doing well!! Happy V-Day to you!

That's great news! 24 hours in the hospital was quite enough for me!

No I don't have a band. I'm cutting right to the chase and going for VSG.

Let us know how your recovering!!!

Everything seens to be going as expected. VSTalk sure got me up to date before surgery. Moved on to full bariatric liquids today. thinking every day will be better then the last.

So you only stayed 1 full night before they sent you home?

How many leak tests did they do? How soon before you follow up with your surgeon. Just looking at comparisons. Thanks for answering my questions.

They did not perform a leak test. They did send me home with a drain which I had for a week, Just had that removed Thursday, thank God. I can now wear normal clothes. I feel like I have been wearina a moo-moo for a week. There was a follow up after 1 week. Ny next appt is 1 month out, then 3 month, 6 month, 1 year anniversary then annually.

Smart move going right for the VSG. I wish I had done the same. My wife has a friend getting a band in the next week or so. I would LOVE to tell her not to do it but she has her mind made up and I have to respect that.

Keep in touch and let us know how you do.

I am 10 days out, down 12 since surgery, back to work and feeling great.
