I have three questions concerning the sleeve

[mentalistfan 189]

1-). The stuck feeling that people talk about, is that usually from not chewing food enough?

2-) What's up with some people having rapid heart rate after surgery?

3-). I hear some people having so much energy after surgery and some feel so weak, any insight?

1. In my case, yes, or eating too fast.

2. panic attack possibly. Nervousness. We never experienced this and I don't see it mentioned much.

3. I am 67 and felt fantastic and shopped 2 and 5 days post op. Can only speak for me and my hubby.

Good luck!

1) yes

2) can be many reaons: scared, nervous, pain. For me I didn't have any issue

3) depends on your pain level, how you heal etc. for me I was at the store 3 days later but 5 days out after trying to do to much with my 3 year old I was feel week.

1) The only time I've gotten the "stuck" feeling is when trying to swallow pills. I've just in the last couple of weeks been able to start taking most of my pre-op Vitamins again.

2) I've experienced rapid heart rate twice: both times were after drinking a higher calorie Protein shake than I am used to. Once I drank my husband's just to try it, once we were on the road, so I bought an ensure. Needless to say, I have never drank either again.

3) I think the energy thing may be all relative. If you're pretty sedentary, then you lose some weight during your pre-op/post-op diet, and start exercising you will likely feel more energetic just from that. If, on the other hand you've always been a high-energy person, the immediate post operative period where you need to rest once in awhile may seem like the end of the world. Again, all I have to compare is my own experience.

- have never had a stuck feeling. Never been sick or thrown up either.

-never had a rapid heart rate although anesthesia can cause that

- I was super tired for a few weeks, feel normal now.
