IncredibleShrinkingMan 437 Posted September 3, 2015 Not at all...4 weeks today and down 30 lbs since surgery. Cravings are limited and are easily silenced by Protein. If he's talking about vigor of workouts or lifting...then maybe, especially in the early going, where those activities are generally off-limits. But even that should resolve quickly. I am starting to worry about muscle loss, but will be going back to the Iron today to put an end to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imsoglad56 402 Posted September 3, 2015 My husband and I were both sleeved last year on September 11. We both had an incredibly easy time of it. He has had a very slight bit of acid reflux that he didn't have before, but other than that, it's been wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monnie815 64 Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks everyone .. I talked to doctor he said he meant men's organs larger and makes surgery little more difficult . He is doing well waiting on a room. Praise to God I've had 0 nausea. Having trouble getting all Water & Protein in. But doing great for 10 days out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveSoon 191 Posted September 3, 2015 I was sleeved on 9/1 and just got out of the hospital today. So far so good. Had some discomfort from gas, but otherwise things went pretty smoothly. Its unbelievable how little Fluid it takes to feel full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
