    Actually, my surgery got bumped at the last minute, and apparently there was no one else available to assist Dr. Dakin, so it was him and Dr. Pomp that did my operation. I guess I lucked out on having so much experience in the room! And my surgery was on a Friday, Dr. Dakin had the weekend off, so it was Dr. Pomp I saw on rounds Saturday and Sunday, and I saw Dr. Dakin on Monday for discharge.

    It couldn't have gone any more smoothly. The only real pain I had was the immediate aftermath, moving from OR table to gurney, and I had to switch beds again in recovery, all before the IV dilaudid drip. After that was hooked up I was fine. No gas pain, no incision pain. Of course everyone on 14 was fabulous and attentive and all that I needed. Actually my throat probably hurt more than anything from being intubated.

    It was a breeze. I know you can't help but be nervous, but you're in great hands.
    Any other questions or concerns, just ask. And good luck!

    I'm not really a pic person, so no, I don't have any. It's been 9 months and I'm down 135. More than double that to go (I was over 500). It was like a straight shot the first 5 months, but it's gotten much slower since the new year's -- more of stall/drop/repeat. My goal is 150 by my year surgiversary.

    I wasn't really all that scared the day of. I hadn't yet discovered this board or others like it, which, for me, would have probably made me think of too many "what ifs." I was just resolved that I needed surgery, that I didn't really have a choice anymore if I wanted to live and regain any semblance of normal life. I was probably more freaked out by the lousy two day pre-op diet, or thinking afterwards I'll never be able to eat XYZ again. But looking back, it was nothing. Best decision I ever made. And recovery was easy. I know I'm blessed and am quite thankful for that. No complications. But it's my opinion that was largely due to the skills of Pomp and Dakin. I don't think they have the pressure to rush through four or five procedures a day. And the good IV drugs help!

    I'm also in Upstate NY. Lake George area. I chose Dr. Singh at Albany Medical Center. They did a great job. I was very impressed with the program at AMC. I started the process in Oct 2011 and had my sleeve done last Wed, June 20th. I started at 299 lbs and am at 264 today!
