[@EDaniels514]

Idk if it's even worth "destroying" or altering my body. I feel like I need it before I get any bigger but. Man i don't know. 😰

[@michelehughes6961]

Omg its gonna hurt for me to lay on that hard table bc of my tailbone having so much inflammation in it...

[@JohnSmith-ve3ro]

how bad are the scars from the surgery?

[@LiveHealthyMD]

All bariatric procedures are performed laparoscopically (meaning they create 6 small incisions in the abdomen). So the scaring and healing process is not bad at all!

@@charlesaidoo7679 Hi Charles, if you live in Georgia, you can fill out a form on our website. www.livehealthymd.com/appointment/ Otherwise we recommend searching Google for a board-certified bariatric surgeon near you.

Im getting the sleeve Dose anyone know if the need to place a catheter? Or intubate you?

[@LiveHealthyMD]

Hi Jay, the sleeve gastrectomy requires general anesthesia which by default will require intubation. However most surgeons will not place a Foley catheter (urine catheter)

[@patricknoles4557]

Do they go through your throat or just stomach

[@LiveHealthyMD]

For the surgery, they go through your stomach. They make 5 to 6 small incisions in your abdomen

[@GettingEpic]

Wait its going to hurt? Everyone said it wasn't to bad...

[@LiveHealthyMD]

There will be some pain but most patients describe it as being uncomfortable more so than painful. During the surgery, you will be under anesthesia so you will not feel pain.
