Me and the other girls who got gastric sleeves on the same day didn't have one but I remember seeing it in a YouTube video so i guess it depends on the surgeon?

Just asked two friends who got vsg too. One did get a drain and the other didn’t. Guess it depends on your doctor and how the surgery went.

I am a week post op and I get random stomach cramps that I assume are from the healing process. They feel almost exactly like hunger pangs, but when the subside, I know I'm not hungry.

I am not trying to tell you that you aren't hungry, because you may very well be. Hang in there!

I get it! The pre-op liquid diet was a breeze for me, but the 2 weeks of post-op liquid diet drove me nuts! I fely hungry, but NOT physically hungry. I was dealing with mad head hunger. It didn't help me that there seemed to be food/recipe videos and ads everywhere. A good friend of mine actually made and sent over 2 weeks of meals for my son and he took care of heating them up, so I did not even have to cook (!!), bless her!!!

What finally helped me deal with my head hunger madness SO much was journaling about what I was feeling, making sure I got my full Water and Protein in, AND watching and taking notes on a video by the great and hilarious Dr. Duc Vuong on How to Deal with Hunger After WLS. Here is a link to it:
