Also, looks like your RNY surgeon is in Modesto which leads me to think you live near me. Who is doing your PS and where? I live in the Bay Area in San Jose.

I'm in Sac and we could meet 1/2 way for lunch on a weekend and you can see some of Dr Sauceda's work.

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Gordon Anderson here in Modesto. San Jose is only about 45 minutes to an hour west of me and it's a pretty straight shot to drive. Expensive lol but an easy drive.

Good to know, thank you. I know where Modesto is. My sister lives there and I lived there for a short time as well. If you don't mind me asking.. how much is the LBL costing you?

Nice. I wonder if I could get mine covered. Probably not so I will just keep saving $$ for it and I guess if I do get it covered then Ihave a nice chunk of savings for a rainy day LOL.

I had my LBL on October 3rd. So far my recovery has been terrific. I was able to stop taking my Narcotic pain relievers on the 6th. My incisions are healing well, I haven't had any separations.

Today, I am almost 3 weeks out from my LBL. I don't have any trouble sleeping or moving around. I have a little tightness in my legs when I cross them. The worst part for me right now is the swelling. I have about 5 lbs of water weight I am carrying around. WHen I walk or am active the fluid accumulates and can make me a little uncomfortable. The main thing is the emotional part -I am impatient and want to see my final result now, even though it probably won't be until December.

I would not hesitate to do it again. I am having my next surgery sometime next year.

I had lbl and breast augmentation and lift on June 11. I was back at work two weeks later. I was off my meds on day 5. The best thing I ever did. I was scared to death but everything went great! Best of luck to you!
