I had mine done at Good Sam too on August 1st and Dr. Nguyen was my surgeon. He has a wonderful bedside manner and the staff at good Sam were great. It will go by really quick, I was really nervous the day of the surgery but everything went as planned and I'm 2 months post op and down a total of 107 lbs. and 53 lbs. is since my surgery. Just stay on point with your liquid diet, I know it's hard I had to do 3 weeks. Take it slow after the surgery and be careful with the morphine, that's what had me sick not my sleeve.

Good luck and keep us updated

So relieved to her that dr nguyen was a great dr. Ths is the first thing i have heard about him. Thank you so much for sharing. I am really scared and nervous but this really truly helped. :-D

6 more days til im sleeved!!!!

Meant HEAR not her. Lol
