I was sleeved 3/26/13. I feel pretty good. I have slight discomfort getting up and down from some of my incision sites but very mild discomfort. That's about it!

I feel great! I've been blessed with an amazing recovery...no discomfort at all except if I try to drink too fast, then it hurts!

I was sleeved 3/25 and I feel great. When I start to feel weak or lightheaded I have a cup of boullion and feel better immediately (that feeling is because of lack of sodium). I am able to drink as I did prior to surgery (I was not a guzzler or chugger before). I have tolerated everything I've tried so far (I'm on full liquids til Monday but had an egg yesterday and was able to eat half of it). Very much looking forward to refried Beans and the famous riccotta bake.

I was very nervous about eating after reading so many posts from folks who can't keep anything down or can just eat 2 teaspoons and they're done. I really feel for them, but that has not been my experience so far at all. In addition to the other things I'm eating, I have 2 Premier Protein shakes a day and all my liquids as well. I am having a bit of a reflux issue, which I did not have prior to surgery so I will call my Dr on Monday to find out which ppi I should take. But even that's not horrible and one tums usually takes care of it.

I hope that was helpful and best of luck to you.

      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.
