I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
Hi there,

My name is Garrett, I am 36 years old and I am 294lbs. I have a current BMI of 42 and I have finally decided to bit the bullet and have a Gastric Sleeve Op on this coming September 16th 2013.

I have thought about the op for many years but never really did anything about it serious. In 2009 I got married to my beautiful Wife Carima and since then we have been given the wonderful gift of a little boy (Zachary) and A little Girl (Ameera). I have recently been diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes along with a whole list of other issues including Diverticulosis. My health has been in serious decline and weighing in at 294lbs which is the main cause of all my ailments it is now time to act. I have found a wonderful surgeon and a fantastic hospital facility where my surgery will take place in just over a month. I am a little nervous about what to expect after surgery but I am mainly excited about the positive changes that I can expect to my health post-op. I would love to hear fromthose who have already had the op and to hear of any advice or recommendations that people may have as I begin my journey.

5 days post op and 7kg lost already!!!

by DeLaRoche on 09-20-2013 at 05:37 PM
Wooo hooo! 5 full days after my surgery I have lost 7kg already! Completely unbelievable. My GP was even impressed. I also had read a lot about the associated post-op pain after a sleeve and while I don't deny that it exists for some, I didn't experience it at all. The pain I did have was minimal and was managed wonderfully by the team in my hospital and the pain dissipated completely after the drain was removed the morning after my op. I had no problem sleeping post-op either.
