Sleeved on 2/24



Recommended Posts

I had my Sleeve done on Feb. 24, I had to spend the night in the hospital since I lived so far away. I felt ok afterwards, but still kinda sore. I have been burping a great deal and that is the only uncomfortable feeling that I really have. I don't really have a appetite, but I know that will probably change. I'm still kinda tired but I know that it should get better as time goes by. My doctor told me to not worry about Protein the first week. I just wonder if I will ever get rid of this burping!!

You will! There's a lot of gas in there from the surgery, that has to make it's way out somehow. And you may get lucky with the appetite... I started getting hungry a couple of weeks out, but a whole LOT of people never feel hunger at all after surgery! Congrats on starting your new life! :)

Congratulations. I am just over a month out now. I haven't had any true hunger yet (head hunger - yes, real hunger no).

The burping and discomfort will definitely come to an end. Each day gets better and better. The only thing I have left is tiring easily. But, even that is getting better.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Hi there and welcome to VST. The burping definitely gets better as the weeks go by, and the swelling decreases.

Keep sipping, walking and resting. Keep us posted on your progress.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
