Hi Everyone,

So im 4 days post-op. I had my surgery the 25th. I had a hard time in the hospital even getting Clear Liquids down. The moment they pulled my JP drain I was back in business. I am feeling better with drinking but still finding im having some pressure and lots of bubbles when swallowing. Im pretty sure its related to gas. I didnt really pass a lot of gas in the hospital and now im really feeling it back home. Anyone else feel lots of pressure/bubbles? How long did it take for your gas to go away? Hope everyone's doing great!

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site but have been on here reading posts for a long time. You all are such an inspiration! I am 22 and have the sleeve on the 25th of January. I am sooo nervous but excited for surgery. I am tired of my pre-op diet but have lost a whopping 20 lbs so far! I feel good. I was just wondering about loose skin after surgery. I have been lifting my 8 lb dumbbells and trying to keep my legs in shape. Did anyone have very much loose skin after loosing all the weight? Im hoping that since im 22 my skin will still have quite a bit of elasticity. Any information would be great! thanks so much!

Hi Everyone,

Im kinda new to this site. Its been a year long journey for me since I decided to get sleeved in January of 2010. Today I am starting my 2 week pre-op diet. I am very excited and at the same time extremely nervous! Is anyone else in the Peoria IL area or using Dr. Salimath?
