    Question All set for surgery

    I am really excited about my surgery in Tijuana that's scheduled for May 2. I don't see anywhere that states about how long the surgery is. I'm have a sleeve. Does anyone have an idea?

    From what I hear it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 1/2 hours. The average time is 1-2 hours. Not too bad!

    You go girl! I can't wait to start losing this weight. I lost a lot of weight on my own about 2 1/2 years ago. I gained every bit of that weight back and then some. I just can't get motivated. I think this surgery will help give me a jump start. What's it like? I hear some get sick after surgery when they eat. Did you have any of that? Do you really feel full quickly and do you sort loose that hungry feeling like you could eat the kitchen cabinets. LOL
