I was out of work for 14 days . . I think if I didn't have a drain (for 10 days) I could have went back sooner . .

Ok thanks I had my gallbladder our 2 years ago and had that Port thing so hopefully it won't stay in long.

I was out for three weeks

Hi all!! I'm a newbie from northern Niagara co. I am a patient of Dr. Caruana. Just waiting for insurance approval. I am uber excited!!!

Welcome! I was also a patient at synergy but had Dr. Cavaretta. I had IHA and I was approved within days! I was sleeved on May 27th. Good luck to you!

Thank you!!! How has your journey been so far?

Actually it has been pretty good. Very little pain. So far have been able to tolerate most foods. Still working on soft foods. It will be nice to progress soon. I will be headed back to work on Tuesday.

I will also say that the nurses and staff at ECMC were fabulous! You will also have your own private room which is huge and very nice.
