Yes, please keep me posted and ask any questions you may have. I will do my best to answer them. Also, make a question list you have for the nurse. Dietitian, or surgeon you will be meeting with, it's their job to make you feel comfortable!

    Great advice... They gave a big packet of info at the seminar so that covered most of my pressing questions... It's taken me a bit to get comfortable with the idea of having the surgery but I'm ready now.

    I think that's very common. When I came out of the drugs wore off after surgery I wanted to reverse time and have the surgery undone cause of the pain. But I'm so glad I did it! I'm more open to new experiences and meeting new people!

    Hi -- I'm from Manhattan, and had the sleeve at NYU on 4/17/2015. I remember feeling awful, weak and nauseated, for two days after the surgery, although not much pain. The two weeks after surgery were the worst, as I was so sick of those liquids. After that, it got steadily better, and now I can eat pretty much anything I want, although in smaller quantities than before. And my food tastes have definitely changed. Remember you must take your vitamin supplements, especially D and B6 and B12, as I became very low in those after a year. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Best to all.
