Lavender,

I'm excited for you... I'm sure Wed cant come soon enough

I wish it was today. I am so ready for this. Unfortunately, my computer at home just died so I'm going to have to find some way of updating you and everyone. My computer was sent out for a new mother board. I might just go buy an i-pad. Somehow I'll update.

Good luck today Lavender!!! Hope to hear from you soon...

Hi, Lifer!

I hope your surgery went well and that you're on the road to recovery.

My surgery is being done by Dr. Kruger on July 1st--who was your surgeon? I'd love to hear any info from your experience that you'd like to share.

I had Dr. Streeter! Ended up staying 4 nights because I lost some blood during surgery and had to have a transfusion. They are super precautious , which is good. The blood loss had nothing to do with the sleeve , or leaks or anything like that. As a matter of fact, when I woke up, I couldn't believe it was done. Haven't had any gas or issues like that. I've been walking and trying to drink lots of Water but it's hard to get it all down. Everybody at Tobey was great (except for my crazy roommate). Lol. Can't wait to start a semi- normal diet. Have my 1 week appt this afternoon. Please feel free to ask anything!

Hey there....

How is everything post op? How was you experience overall? Hope you're doing well....

I had my surgery almost 7 months ago with Dr. Benedetto at Salem Hospital. NO post op problems or issues, I feel fantastic. I'm 11 lbs from goal. The support groups are good, the post op classes (great team of RN, NUT & exercise physiologist) were very helpful. Good luck!!! Salem Sleeve Sister!!!!
