How long did you stay at the hospital with the sleeve? What did you eat the first week? What about dumping syndrom with the sleeve? When did you go back to work? When did you become pain free?

MacMadame thank you for put me in place about my liquids in take..lol So you was on liquid for seven weeks and you was on liquids few weeks before surgery right? OMG.. I am not sure if I can do it.. The people around me love to eat.. I told my friend I was going to do the diet with her and see if I can stick to eat.. I only lasted few days.. That is why I am so scared that I will not follow the instructions. So when you start eating regular food that is when you can feel the restriction..

Sorry, I am still going back and forth with this.. My friend went ahed and did it.. This is what scares me.. She got it done on 12/15 or 16. She said she has to drink at least 64 oz of liquid that is too much I think? And she said right now she can drink as much as she want and she do not feel fool and even when she had blended Soup.. Then she told me she can not eat food until 4th week and this is like mash potato and stuff like that.. Then week seven that is when she can go back to eat solid. That seems like a long time to me.. Are the stepple that sensitive? And can you tell how much stomack you have left? And you will feel fool quick when you start eating the real food?

You need a lot of will power not eating that much.. I was at wal-mart yesterday and just realized how much food was around me and I am like how is it possible to loose weight like that when you can not control yourself. I hope you will be able to eat the bread too.. So you can not tolerate or you can not eat bread yet? What about peanut butter? Because peanut butter has lots of protein. Do you still take protein suppliments or just from the diet?

thanks for the response, I mean you get so many clear answers from the patient than the doctor.. I guess because you have lived it.. I hope you do not mind my questions. I have read your previous post about having trouble eating.. So we the sleeve you can only eat one ounce? And the other question when did you start to chew?

what about gas? Is it as bad after surgery? Oh it goes away? And Vitamin, how long do you have to take them? I thought you did not have to take them with the sleeve..

thanks for the input, one more question, they keep saying about keep walking around to avoid blood clot. Okay, I get that.. What about at night? Do you get up and walk?

Hello, For the past five years, I have been going back and forth with this.. Now, I have decided to go ahead with it. My insurance wont pay, so I will have to pay everything out of pocket. Any suggestion ideas will help.. I am going through Dr. Victor Gonzalez. I would appreciate your feed back about him.. My first meeting is on wenesday.. I am ready to do the surgery asap.. Do you know how long will take since I am self pay?
