Had my surgery 8/26/16.
Besides trapped gas,I had NO pain. The first 2 weeks are rough...the vitamins and nutrients you were getting from all the food you were getting aren't there,but Blossom and staff helped me thru it,went over which vitamins I needed to take,and once you learn 'how' to eat with your new size tummy,it's a breeze.its been 6 wks,I feel 20 years younger,lost 20 lbs so far,but down 2 sizes in jeans....so I'm losing inches as well. The staff and doctors,I used Dr Apel, are wonderful,full of knowledge,and you are a patient for life,it seems,they see you after surgery in 6 wks,3 months,6 months and your annual to take blood and monitor you.And they are ALWAYS there for help and questions.
Special thanks to Venus,and Ruth, Very caring and guided me till now. And the nutritionist Michele, is very helpful and easy to talk too
My husband is doing it now! He can't believe how energetic I am, my mood has changed, I WANT to get dressed and go out ....I'm fitting into some of my old jeans already.....it's only 20 lbs so far,but the inches I've lost and the vitamin regimen I'm on make me feel half my age.
I HIGHLY recommend Blossom Bariatrics
