Got my Lapband retired and sleeved! I was very scared but all went great! Until now a smooth recovery! Taking my liquids and feeling very little pain! Got it with Dr. Mark Pleatman in Bloomfield hills ,MI. Self pay! Until now 24 hours post op the only bad feeling I've had is nausea!! Great full and happy!

Congrats and happy recovery!! I am also trying to get my sleeve surgery (self pay). What did/do you think of Dr. Pleatman? Do mind me asking, about how much he charged? TIA and again congrats!!

Hope your recovery continues to go well! It's great that you are already getting liquids in pretty well. That will be a huge help in your recovery.

Hi, he charges $11200 For the sleeve , in my case $2000 more for Lapband removal. That price includes everything, surgery, anesthesia, 1 night in St. Joseph mercy Oakland hospital and post op visits. Dr Pleatman is a man of few words, but he knows what he is doing. I felt confident with him.

Thank you! I hope your nausea has subsided! ????
