Thank you for all your kind wishes. The op went ok, spent a few nights in intensive care, just under observation. Really pleased to be back home today, a bit sore and weary but ok. Had my first pro

Hello!
I'm going to be sleeved tomorrow and feeling very nervous.
Had a band for 18 months, lost 88 1bs, felt like a different person.
Then the band started causing huge reflux because it had slipped, so had to have it removed as emergency at the end of Dec. 2012.
Was told I would need to wait at least 3 months for my stomach to recover before having a sleeve, during that time I have gained 29 1bs and hated every minute.
My insurance wouldn't cover the cost of a sleeve, because at my current weigh I am in no danger but I just can't face going back to my pre-band weight and then asking them again, so am funding the op. myself.
Really excited about getting the sleeve but very nervous about the surgery, really hope it all goes ok.
Currently sitting in hospital, having had all the blood tests, ECG, visits from my surgeon and the anesthetist.
All set for tomorrow morning, all I can do is wait.........
