Sip sip sip. Be sure to get your fluids in and follow the guide line your surgeon recommends. I am 6 months out and loving my sleeve. It wasn't easy, I had a few sit backs because my sleeve was too tight throwing up but another upper GI was done and my sleeve was stretched and its so much better now. However, I lost weight, feel better and if I had to do it over again I would. It is worth giving up food that was not good for me anyways, especially sodas. I can't believe that I don't even crave sodas thank God!

Bowel prep, bowel prep!!

Aside from getting in all your fluids after surgery, a big common complaint is not being told about prepping your bowels. Remember that anesthesia will slow things down. If your cleared out, that'll make things much easier for you.

Best of luck!!

The first 3 days are miserable, BUT days 4-6 get significantly better... There is a light at the end of the tunnel so hang in and find reassurance in knowing that:)

You have a right to be nervous, but remember this is the best decision you have ever made for yourself and your health. The first two or three days are rough but well worth it!! Be happy kid, here comes the new you!!!

You will have moments where you think to yourself WTF did I do to myself. It's okay to feel that way but it will pass quickly.

It's not an easy journey the first few months but its worth it. It's a mental battle more than anything.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
