CiscoTeacher 3 Posted February 15, 2012 I was sleeved yesterday on Valentine's day. I wasn't quite prepared for all the gas pains that I had. The surgery went well and my doctor told me that I had one of the largest stomachs that he has come across. I still have one more night in the hospital. Tomorrow morning they will do an upper GI to make sure there are no leaks. I am so happy this part of my journey is over... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
