Hello! My name is Erica Humphres. I had my sleeve surgery on 3/17/17 by Dr. Almanza. I am 2 1/2 weeks post surgery and feel great. If it wasn't for my incisions and the diet restrictions, I wouldn't even know I had surgery. The only pain I have had was getting rid of the gas that is put in during surgery. It stayed in my upper back for a couple weeks. I am walking great and starting to bend a little easier. I have not been nauseated or sick. I had a nurse friend remove my stitches and she said everything looked great! As of this morning, I have lost 25 lbs. I am starting to feel better and can see the difference visually and in my clothes. I have had issues with food cravings and regretted surgery several times but I know once I can start having regular food again I will feel better about the situation. Of course, it is all mental and will take time to re-program for my new life style!! The hospital was nice and clean. The nurses was great and took good care of you. You have contact to nurses 24/7 at the hotel. Of course I had to travel and my flight back was a little rough but I recommend using Weightlossagents! I have asked so many questions and they always answer back quickly. Everything they said was true! Once I arrived at the airport, I didn't have to worry about anything!!
