I was sleeved 8/12. I'm surprised by how much I have to go to the bathroom (pee, poop, whatever) and how much gas I still seem to have. It seems Bobzilla (that's what I named my sleeve), is constantly grumbling over something - which can be embarassing in a closed quarter mid-day meeting. I also feel thirsty almost all the time but I'm constantly trying to drink. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how much weight I've lost in the first month. I had a lap-band before being sleeved and my doctor considers me a light-weight and I read from multiple sources that I should expect to lose weight much slower than a 'virgin sleeve', but based on what I'm seeing here, I am right on track. This week, I have struggled with actually eating at all - so I have had days at work with back to back to back meetings and I literally have not time to eat but it hasn't bothered me.

I lost what I thought was rapidly for the first 2 weeks, (16 pounds in 17 days) and then I hit the dreaded 3 week stall - which is where I sit currently. It seems it is different for everyone.

My doc's plan says no alcohol for 6 months.

I had my revision over 3 weeks ago and I did not have an unfill prior to my surgery. In addition, I was only on a liquid diet for 2 days prior to the surgery. Hope this helps!
