Hi, Mom of 4: recovery is different for everynody. I was really weak for 5 weeks . Then realized that I am someone who needs carbs. I have a little potato each day and I feel wonderful. Go for it....you'll be fine. You'll have your secret weapon (your sleeve) to get you through the holidays!

Thank you MaryNoel... I have my appt with the surgeon to finalize and submit on Nov 21st so... If I get a date in December I am taking it !!! if it's after Christmas I am taking it.... Whenever they get me in I am there with a big ol' smile and ready to go.... I have put this surgery off three times in 5 years and I am done!! So happy and excited and I cannot wait!!! I thank you all for your info and advice and you are right I have my sleeve as a weapon and the internet for all my shopping should the need arise!!

Hey Donkey. I'm west of philly but just got sleeved at Penn on halloween. I hope you have Dr Williams. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to tell you everything the drugs didnt make me forget. In short, it was awesome. I didnt take a pain killer after the second day.

Hi from East Rutherford!

I had my surgery on 9/25. I used Dr Strom/Fresco. Love them! I am down 35 lbs.

Who was your surgeon? I'm in northern NJ - due to be sleeved on 12/19.

I used Dr Strom/Dr Fresco out of Mountainside.

Yes, thats my location. .

Yes, thats my location. .

Yes, mine too...I'm on day 7 of my pre op...can't say it's been horrible but this weekend was a struggle. But I only have 8 days until surgery day and I have to say that thinking of that has kept me going strong. When do you start your pre op?
