I hope I picked the right surgery I am doing the sleeve. I am scared about having any surgery but this one I am not so sure about. I know I feel so big and hate it. I am 45 years old and am very over weight. My husband tells me he still loves me no matter how big I am or get. But I do not love me the way I am so I want surgery and hope this works. I have been reading on line and seeing so many pictures of others getting the surgery and the after pictures. Love to see the before picture and the after one. Wondering if any one has had this surgery and wondering if there surgeon was Steven Hendrick?. Please leave any comments you want about the surgery and what I should expect.

I had my surgery the first day I was home was Wednesday July 22.  It felt like a mac truck hit me but did not kill me or finish his job on me. Man I was sick I could not lay down just kept walking around the house the gas pains were so bad.  I was not happy at all. I was thinking why did I do this why did I let DR. Hendrick talk me in to this surgery why did he even mention this to me all I wanted was the band. But when I started to talk to my doctor he told me the sleeve I would be happy with. Well That Wednesday I was not happy.

But now I am a week out and feeling better each day starting to love my sleeve and the surgeon that did it for me. I know my surgeon is there to help me but if you asked me a week back I would have told you he was not good lol. I like my surgeon he is so tough he will ask you a question and he does not want to here any excuse from you why  you are not doing things his way. He has the attitude you do the things my way and you will loose weight and if you do not do what I tell you than this is your fault if you do not loose weight.  He is a no nonsense surgeon. But he does care about his patients a lot you can see that when he talks to you.  He is good and he knows he is good that is why I picked him and I also picked him because he is tough on you.

I am only a week out still trying to find out when I am full and not get sick. I am happy with the weight I have lost so far I am looking for better days soon.
