Post surgery, on the 29th. of March. St.Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove. Dr. J. Kane is a miracle!!!
The hole surgery was 1and half. The nurses at the bariatric, ward are the best. Especially Jenn Lopez, she also had G-sleeve and she gave me a lot of support. I am still working on the food intake and Water. But, the rest is fine, I am happy with my choice and the doctors and the hospital

I am a little over 3 weeks out after surgery at UIC with Dr. Ganjamei. I have only positives to say about the team. Surgery wasn't super stressful. On surgery day they are super efficient and get you prepped and ready in a super chill way.

After surgery, I was hurting a lot for the first 3 days and feeling like crud, but I never had a complication or had trouble swallowing or anything. They do meticulous work, so you're in good hands.

Good luck!!!!

I had surgery on May 10th... As of yesterday I was 54 pounds lighter since May 2nd. Recovery was good for me, the only real adjustment that I had to make, and am still working on is that my eyes are way bigger than my stomach.
