I am a May 6 sleeve- my experience has been better than I expected. Had some trouble controlling the pain in recovery but once that was under control, everything else was fine. I was walking the halls two hours after I got to my room. Spent one night and went home in a little less than 24 hours. I am really fortunate! I have been having these strange noises come from my stomach...almost as if I were hungry. But I'm not hungry so it's weird, hard to explain. I'm trying my best to get in all the fluids and protein but its just so hard! Had pretty bad gas pain until yesterday when I was able to finally pass gas! Glad everyone is doing well. Does anyone else have to wear an abdominal binder? I find I'm more comfortable with it on.
