    Yes you absolutely will. Ill be 7 weeks on Monday and Ian just now getting over it. Just remember it's normal and that first 6 weeks is not an indication of how life will be its part of the healing

Not from queens but saw your surgeon's names. I just had sleeve surgery with Angstadt on 8/21 at st Charles. Dr Garber removed my lap band at mercy in may. Good luck to you both!!! Hang in there on the liquid diet!

I feel great. So far the day after was the toughest. In the hospital hit the pain pump when they ask you to get up. Bring 2 pillows also chapstick. When you home sip sip sip and concentrate on staying hydrated. It gets easier every day after surgery. The pre op diet was the worst part of the whole process for me. :-)

You know, believe it or not, I didn't have a morphine pump thingie, I was getting some good ish via IV, idk what it was but whenever I said pain, they hooked that bag up and I was out. It lasted about 4 hours at a time.

I'm hoping my recovery is that easy. I'll make a note to bring those items with me. I find out tomorrow what time I have to be there.

Ok I got my time. I'm to be at the hospital at 8AM on 9/3.

It sounds like I'm the surgery right before you. I have to be there at 5:45am and surgery is at 8.
