Congrats. I was sleeved on the 19th and am doing well. It gets easier every day, just be sure and walk to keep the blood flowing and focus on Protein. Good luck!

I pretty much let my body tell me what to do. My gas pains were bad but never had any when I left the hospital. The first week I was wondering WHAT HAVE I DONE? Now Im pretty settled with my sleeve and I understand it has a mind of its own.....as long as I pay attention to its likes and dislikes....we're good!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
