I had a problem with eating. I had gastroparesis which didn't resolve with the surgery, developed reflux, etc. I had a problem in gallbladder surgery so I was a bit out of for a couple days. After that, I didn't have the constant pain, so I got better.

Im just so nervous with the sleeve i had a rough time i was throwing up anything for a month. So I am trying to hold off surgery but I'm in a lot of pain today so I'm wondering how long i can hold off for.

Back in 2008 when I had the band, I developed gallstones after 2.5 months. It was incredibly painful and got surgery scheduled. Before the surgery, the gallstones passed. What came out the other end was an anal birth of the toxic avenger.

Still better than surgery.
