New Life - Fairfield, CT

Surgery date 5/31/16 weight 344 as of today 12/13/16 my weight is 262. I am down 82lbs and happy. Some say I should be losing faster but I am happy with the process. If I had to do all over again I would!

So I got sleeved 5/31 and I'll tell you a little about my experience. I got to the hospital at 930 and by 1030 I was headed into the OR. I the entire staff at St Vincents Hospital was the absolute best. I was in recovery for about an hour or so. No pain the but the nausea was the worst ever. Once move to my room I begin sipping water. I continued with the terrible nausea but no pain. The nausea almost made me regret having the surgery it was that terrible especially when you have nothing to throw up. Sleep like a baby, the next day I woke as if nothing had happened the day before, walking sipping no pain from the surgery and thank God no gas pains I had been hearing about. Day three was check out day felt like a million buck until I got in the car to leave. The car ride home made me sicker than I had been the entire stay at the hospital. First day home was the worst the nausea wouldn't leave couldn't even keep the water down. Went to bed gagging but woke up feeling ok...this is day four and happy I am feeling well and no nausea. I do have to say I've been extremely tired but other than that all is well and I am happy and excited about where this journey is going to take me.
