1 month out and I feel like I have no sleeve

[Nursebarbie 392]

There were more foods I couldn't eat than could. I should have been a size 2 with the amount of food I ate with the band. Very frustrating to throw up everything for 2 years.

I'm almost 2 weeks out, so still on liquids but I kind of get what you are saying. I have not been like most patients, I was up walking the day after surgery, never had any pain, nausea or anything! I have asked myself that same question. I feel as though the only surgery I had was my hiatal hernia repair. I can feel pressure in my chest at times. It's weird because sometimes I can get more liquid down at one time than what I thought you were suppose to with the sleeve. I've even thought about asking my surgeon at my next appt if I really had it done, lol. I must say after dealing with what I did for 3 years of the lapband, I think I'm going to love my sleeve Good luck!
