Im 200 pounds and I’m 5’4. Im an over eater I work out and all but I couldn’t loose weight because I literally eat all day non stop for comfort I guess. I decided to do the gastric sleeve before I got bigger.
I choose to do it at Miami sleeve center with dr.Gomez he made me feel extremely comfortable and he is literally always in a good mood so that definitely helped me feel like I was in good hands. I give him 5 STARS. the day of surgery I woke up super scared and nervous he assured me I was going to be ok I go into surgery and wake up in the biggest pain of my life literally woke up [RS bleep] screaming … I would have preferred to be dead but mind you the pain wasn’t in my stomach it was on my chest they said it was from the gas which was 100% correct because once I started burping I started to feel better and when I started to walk around I felt even better. The back pain never really left today is the second day and the pressure has subsided and my back pain is still there but I also got my period yesterday right before surgery .. so that could be a reason why as well , yesterday I tried to eat the little soup it made me extremely nauseous and I hated it I ate the little jello it was the only thing I could take down I drank some juice and threw it up I guess I was drinking too much water and juice. So far that was my experience I’m still at the hospital waiting to get discharged.

Hi! Did you pay out of pocket for this? And was your bmi considered on the low range of gastric surgery?
