Hi; I am getting my sleeve surgery done on sep 6th with Dr Allan Cribbins. I would love to hear some experiences and have some fellow sleevers who are going through similar experience around the same day, particularly with Dr Cribbins. If you had had a surgery with Dr Cribbins in the past, would love to hear your experience.

I have liked the guy, he seems very laid back and casual and takes time to answer the questions. I had a list of 20 or 25 questions and took almost 25 minutes in my last appointment. He was very patient and never rushed any response-including the hard questions I asked of him. He seemed like a guy who probably sleeps and lives in his surgeon outfit (or whatchma call it) 24/7.

As they say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best, for the first time in my life regardless of my years of struggle with morbid obesity, I have felt that I am mentally prepared to tackle the surgery and manage the demands and yes face any issues. Mentally ready to fight the good fight.

If you are having surgery around the same time, let us share experiences and pray for me.

Im having out sept 9, don't know if I'm ready!

Gas pain has definitely subsided, the incisions are hurting so much. I can't get comfortable. I don't really have an appetite either
