I had doctor Hans Schmit June 12 down 75 lbs

Burlington, NJ here! Sleeved on 8/28 by Dr. Wasser at Virtua Memorial Hospital, Mt Holly. Had a wonderful experince and went back to work on 9/11. Doing fantastic, down 18 lbs. "It is what you make of it". Other than the main incision site being painfull, if you moved the wrong way, I've had it very easy. My job is a desk job so I was able and willing to go back to work in two weeks. So glad I did this...Can anyone explain to me how to fix my ticker?

Yikes! That is one of the things in the most nervous about. I can't imagine not "chewing" for 2 weeks. Did you feel hungry? Were you allowed to have gum or hard candy during that time?

I was sleeved on 8/15 by Dr Balsama (or as my aunt calls him Dr. Cutie Pie) at Kennedy Hospital. He was a wonderful surgeon.

I was sleeved by Dr. Trivedi on July 30th. Had a wonderful experience. Feeling great, down 25 pounds, 18inches and 4 pants sizes. Off all diabetic and blood pressure meds since surgery day (I had diabetes for over six years pre-op) and had a normal HgbA1c at six weeks post-op. This was the best decision I've made to go through with the surgery.

Good luck to you all!!
