I had the sleeve Dec 3 and so did she buut she had gastric bypass. Her stomach got real big.

There's just some swelling from the gas used to inflate the stomach so the surgeon has room to work during surgery. It goes away in a few days to a couple of weeks. You can speed up the process by walking as much as possible and taking Gas-X.

Try not to compare yourself with your friend. Everyone's progress and journey is unique. Comparisons are not helpful and usually someone just ends up being frustrated or depressed.

Best wishes to both of you!

I'm not comparing myself with her just asking a question. She was also given steroids. She is afraid because she is not losing weight.

If she has concerns she needs to contact her doctor.
