  19. I got sleeved on the 5 th i am a band revision. Honestly going well other than Bad heartburn. I did not have it before. For most it goes away after a couple months , hope I am one of lucky ones. Was very weak on clear liquids and now way way better on full liquids. . Minimal pain maybe just with certain movements and mainly on my removal of Port. Lost 8 since morning of surgery and since started full liquids on Thursday scale has not moved and I am ok with that. .
  20. My gosh so sorry. Thank you Candice
  21. Oh my gosh so sorry. My heartburn is horrible but since I started full liquids at least my energy came back a bit.
