Is there any Philly sleevers here, if so where did u guys get your surgery? And how far post op are u?

I am in the suburbs- scheduled for surgery June 30th at Abington Hospital. Nice to "meet" you!

I will be having surgery may 27 with mercy bariatrics at mercy suburban

Nice meeting u guys as well... I know u guys are excited/nervous about the upcoming surgery.. I was sleeved 4/29 so almost 3wks post op! Done @pennsylvania hosp.

Nice to meet ya!! How has everything been for you so far? Any advice?

Don't let your nerves get to you. The recovery was so smooth at times I doubted if they completed the procedure lol. One minute I was put under the next minute I'm walkin up like wtf just happened and why my lips so crusty lol (thank god for Chapstick). Honestly for me there were no pain at all where the incisions were! Nothing!!!!! The only discomfort I felt was gas pains in my stomach and yes it was very uncomfortable. I did vomit a few times but I was told that was from the anesthesia.

Once I got home and back in my element I was up and out as much as I could. I went walkin in the mall 2 days after being released because the more you walk the faster u remove the gas in stomach.

Sleeved 3/5/14 at Presbyterian hospital. Best decision every.

Best decision I made as well, just can't wait to start seeing some results

Hi - I am in S/Jersey near the C.Barry Bridge - My first look into the sleeve was @ Einstein at a seminar - but someone one I knew recommended Dr K in woodstown, NJ - after meeting with him... i knew in my gut that he was the right doc for me. I am 5 months out (i cant beleive i am already 5 months out..)

I am 77lbs down and have gone from a size 20W to 12 I have no idea how many inches i have lost (i wish i kept better track of that & took more pictures these last 5 months) Nice to meet all of you
