Omg!!!! Sound painful. Take it easy. It's all worth it

Got my insurance approval!!!!! Keep me in your prayers everyone!!!! All set to be sleeved 8/28!!!!!!

I'm home with my sleeve! I had it done on Tuesday and the first day was rough. I was in a lot of pain and basically went from pain to sleep all day. Wednesday was better, lots of gas pain that I didn't think would bother me as much as it did. I got home today and I'm feeling better. Starting my protein drinks, slowly but surely. Overall feeling OK, just tired.

Hello. I got sleeved in LI 8/28 with dr vohra!!! Absolutely love his team. And doing great. I live in Queens though. Hollaaa;)

I just got my date But so fat dr Garber's office is great.

Hello all, I hope everyone is well. Im sorry I haven't posted hit a huge bump in the road. My sleeve is doing well, but I did have to go back into the hospital for 6 days . I went to the ER with pain in my incision sight and I had a slight fever. Turned into a Staff infection my highest temp was 103.0. I had to go back into the OR for another surgery to clean out the infection. Now I have an opened wound above my belly button.I have a nurse that comes to the house everyday to change the dressings packed into the wound , Its going to be about another 4 to 6 weeks of healing time. I am staying positive and I know I will get through this...oh and alo my B/P is on the low side the Dr's say im not drinking enough water....

Hey, I from Washington Heights but live in East Harlem. I'm a Pre Sleever but my consult with Dr Yatcho from Lenox Hill is November 21 but i see yours is coming up. Rock it out baby cause youre gawgeous!
