Sleeved on the 4th Dec, a totally painless experience, 4th day home and blood sugar seems to be stable around 6.5 unmedicated, it is early yet but feels great, not really interested in food, but i do enjoy the liquids. I have had type 2 since 2007 so it looks good atm. Best advice i had was from another sleeved patient who advised me to take only half-teaspoon sized sips after the op. Best advice from the forum was to walk, walk, walk. All good wishes to those about to start.
