New Here!
Hi all,
I am new here and just found out Monday morning that my insurance has approved me for surgery. I am going to have the Sleeve on 4/28/14. I am scared, nervous and excited all wrapped into one. I would love to hear from anyone that is post op with the Sleeve and understand your healing process and any potential complications encountered? How was your pain level? Indigestion? How long before you felt "good"? I have done a ton of research and realize that Sleeve has a low incidence of complications but I would like to be as mentally prepared for what could happen if there are any complications.
Thanks all!
Rox
