Hey everyone! So I finally got sleeved on 09/19 and omg! I can say that those initial 3 days were hands Down the worst days of my life! I'm just so thankful that I am alive and that evrything is ok. No complications occurred , but those gas pains were out of this world!!! I have a question for you all, thankfully I am feeling much much better , but, I've noticed that when I drink I feel very strange inside. It feels warm, bubbly , and somewhat painful , in a matter of seconds it's gone . It feels like heartburn but it occurs right below my breast, not the chest area .I was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.. If so, please share some info with me :) thsnks

congratulations! I'm jealous :) My surgery date isn't until November 12th. I'm sure what you're feeling is normal and that the worst will be behind you in just a few more days. I mean think about what they did, I'm sure your stomach is say "what the hell just happened". Well good luck to you. I do have a question for you though, I hear some people say they have a "drain" left in them, hanging out of them, etc... Is that true? If so, for how long and does it hurt.

I meet with my surgeon on Thursd of this week and I'm sure he will answer my questions, but I am just curious.

you can read on the board that many people do have a drain - but most sleevers say it was not painful

per my question, surgeon told me i wouldn't have a drain.

do a search on drains, you'll see many responses and explanations

check it out

good luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
