Hi Aime, God bless you on your new and exciting journey. I am 13 days post-op, and had Dr. Schreiber at Saint V'S. I feel GREAT, and I am so glad that I did this for myself. This was my gift from God, and I thank HIM everyday for this surgery. I am still recouping, but will enjoy the benefits of the surgery very soon. I have lost a total of 7 and a half inches. I do not have a scale, but I did take my measurements. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love and hugs, Karen
