Spanner here - 1 week post-op

Hello all. I'm Spanner (not a spammer) and I had my VS on 3/8/2011 and so far so good. I spent one night in the hospital and had my drain removed prior to discharge (no pun).

I'm surviving and sponging up all the information I can about all the things that others had to go through after this procedure. At this point I've had no complications and a very positive experience with my doctor and hospital.

    Congratulations on your smooth recovery (and can I also say I am soooo jealous that you only had to spend one night in the hospital)!!!! We were sleeved the same day! Best of luck with your journey!
