Surgery this morning

Had my sleeve done this morning in Long Island with Dr Shawn Garber. Nothing short of an excelent experience with Mercy Medical Center. I am laying in my bed with minima pain, rather just soarness and looking forward to trying my food intake tomorrow. So far so good. Good luck to all pre sleevers.

When u say robot do u mean the single incision? If that is what u mean it wasnt. I had the regular lapro. Because my torso is too long for the single incision. I am a big boy. 6'5". 400lbs. I dont have much gas pain at all and i walking every two hours with no problems. Dr Garber is doing 5-7 of these surgeries a week no deaths no leaks , so i knew i was in good hands. Thank you.
