Well, tomorrow is one month since my VSG with Dr Hawasli and I have lost 60 lbs!!!!! The man is a god in my book, and I do not give praise like that easily. I had mine at St. John main on Moross and I could not have been more impressed with the staff. I know hospitals and what to expect, I am a firefighter/ paramedic and an ER medic, and St John Main more than met my every expectation.
I was in the hospital overnight and was home by noon the day after. I was on he couch for a couple of days but hardly even used the 2 week supply of liquid pain meds given to me, maybe 3 doses.
The biggest suprise is the lack of actual hunger. I am never hungry and absoultely stuffed after 4 tablespoons of soup. AMAZING!!!!
If you have any questions or fears, please do not hesitate to email me. We can buddy up and I can gie you more info.
Talk to you soon and good luck.

It is so nice to finally get a post from someone who is going to have the same doctor as me. My VSG is scheduled for 2/3/09 @ St.. Johns too. I am starting my 2 week pre-op diet today. So glad to hear that everything went smooth for you. I am getting so nervous, now that it is so close. I know that this is the best thing for me. Thanks again.

Hi,
I had my sleeve operation done on December 22, 2009. I have not had any issues. My surgery was done by Dr. Kole at St. John's in Madison Heights. They were going to release me the next day, but I asked to stay due to extreme nausea. When I came home, I spent a few days resting on the couch. My surgery was laproscopic, so the scars are minimal. I can have a few spoons of food and I am full. Getting your fluids in is very important. My sleeve has done wonders for me.
Best of luck to you,
Carrie
