Hey Lady! I was sleeved on May 1st so far so good I don't have any complaints. At this point I have no regrets. I am a little sore around the bigger incision but that's the brunt of it. I think the worst of it all to me is the liquid diet.< /p>

Ugh! That's the absolute worse part. Well, the preop diet is the WORST. It gets SOOOOO much better though!

Make sure you have everything you need on hand after surgery, Soup, Jello, crystal light, Protein, milk. I had Surgery Dec 10 no pain meds. I was a little nauseated after Surgery but that my only complaint.

Just to let you know...I read about LOTS of people who barely used their meds, then I needed mine for 12 days. Everyone is different. I had my gall bladder put at the same time and it was really bad, so that might have made a difference.

A lot of people experience gallbladder issues after a substantial weightloss that is why some docs remove them right away while doing the surgery. I already had mine removed before I got the sleeve and trust me you would rather have them remove the gallbladder at the same time if you can. Gallbladder attack pain is NO JOKE I had it after my 2nd pregnancy and it was some of the worst pain I have ever felt WAY more than post op pain after having sleeve and way worse than my 3 c sections and thyroidectomy. Terrible I am telling you if he will take out your gallbladder you will save yourself another surgery after your sleeve if you have the problems many have with gallbladder after WLS

Its wasn't a walk in the pound but when you see the results its worth the minor discomfort. I had diet before but these results are amazing. I have always had good self esteem but its major now. The bomb.com
