On November 21, 2014, I flew to San deigo ca scared to death not knowing what to expect and fear of the unknown.
Today, 8 weeks after the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, I am down 45 pounds and I feel amazing. No complications at all. Went back to work 10 days post op with no problems. My husband and my daughter had the surgery with me the same day and have done well also.
