Gastric sleeve

How many have had it and what was your outcome

I have a sleeve and my loss (so far) can be seen to the left of this post.

My recovery was fairly good, I had some incision discomfort for a while (and did end up with a wicked case of contact dermatitis), had some initial stomach spasms when I first tried some clear fluids, but that didn't last long. Minimal gas but I did walk a lot (a real lot) while in the hosiptal I was there two nights but not discharged until late on the third day. I was able to fly home on the fourth day, flight was about 1.45hrs.

Haven't had any nausea or any other issues so far.

Very happy.

Have you had surgery or are you just researching options

At the age of 73, I had this done last year. I had no pain, no problems, followed the eating directions religiously. I've been more successful than I could ever dream of and will never look back.
