2 weeks after the sleeve and 20 lbs down
Nov 07, 2012
I am so happy with my sleeve journey! God opened every door... Dr. Pleatman in Michigan was very nice... very straight forward, very knowledgeable... I flew in on MOnday from CT and saw him in the PM... had surgery on Tuesday... everyone in the hospital was wonderful! I woke up with AL LOT OF PAIN... I think it was gas... after I was medicated it was regular discomfort from laparoscopy surgery... I had too much scar tissue from lap band surgery and was at risk for a leak so I had a drain for 7 days... HATE IT! it pulled on my skin... but nothing terrible... on Monday he removed the drain and if it wasn't for hurricane Sandy I would be home... I was down 12 lbs in the first week... another 8 for the second... I am following the diet to a T... easy after 6 years of Lap Band... I cant wait for the rest of the extra 30 lbs to be gone.. and then.... it will be gain!!!! Dr. Says 155.... I say 135! Will keep you posted!
