I was sleeved on 4/7/16. It was the best thing I ever did. I was never scared or worried. Not 1 butterfly in my stomach, my heart never skipped a beat. They made me feel so comfortable it was like going to get my eyebrows waxed or something g when I was brought back for surgery. Everyone was so friendly and helpful I was to having a c-section was higher risk than this surgery. I have had 4 c-sections so this surgery was nothing to me. It took them about 45 minutes to do the surgery. I love my little tool. As of today on 5/5/16 I aM 4 weeks out and I have lost a total of 80lbs. I'm posting a side by side pic. Pic on left is at the hotel just before we walked out the door to go to the hospital. Pic on the right is me today. 80 pounds down and 81 pounds to my 2nd goal. My heaviest weight was 372. My surgery weight was 360. Today, just 4 weeks later I am now at 280. I love my little tool. I have done great with the surgery. Good luck to all who read this and decide to do the right choice for you and have this surgery. It's amazing!!!
