Just a quick update. I just got my sleeve yesterday and am feeling pretty good so far. No complaints. Dr. Garcia said I had zero complications during surgery.

Congrats. How are you feeling. Is it hard to swallow liquids? ?? Does it feel strange

I'm actually having a pretty easy time so far. Minimal gas pains. I've had some pain under my right side ribs but I've read that is normal. Drinking has been fine taking it nice and slow. I haven't felt it going down as others have posted. After my first couple of sips of Apple juice I did spit up a little bit but it was right after they had me drink the drink for the leak test. So I think that's why.
