Hi,
My name is Eileen and I had sleeve surgery on May 31st. I really have felt great, no nausea and no vomiting. I had planned to have weight loss surgery bypass 15 years ago along with my older sister but backed out. Then 12 years ago my baby sister was having stomach bypass so I was going to have it then, but I backed out. Both times I felt like something was off and I didn't need to have it. Well as I have gotten older, (now 55), I have diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, depression, anxiety, etc , had to have right knee replacement surgery, and need left knee replaced, and pinched nerve in my back. I have 4 precious grands the first two are my son's kids and they call me GG. MY daughter has two and the first had chunky cheeks and I nicknamed him MonkMonk and when he started talking he called me Monk Monk too. So I have two granny names and I love it. Anyway, after having my grands, I want to be able to do things with them, and I want my health back. I attended 6 months of classes with dietician and decided to have the sleeve. I could not have asked for any smoother surgery and healing than what I have had. I just thought I would lose 30 pounds the first month and so far only 17pounds. I have had very little stomach hunger, but a lot of mental hunger. That's the biggest battle. I look forward to meeting many of you and supporting one another. God bless you all!
