Good Luck George! I was very nervous and scared too. I have a husband and 3 kids and was very scared about the surgery. But I had my surgery on april 26th. I haven't been sick at all. I'm very sore but my family is taking good care of me. As far as diet I was told for two weeks after surgery to stick to one Protein Shake a day and 64 ounces of fluids per day. I'm fuzzy on the fluids part. I have been drinking Water, crystal light and thats about it. For me the liquid seems to hurt going down but the shake is fine...probably because its thicker and it goes down slower. I was wondering if I could add broth as part of my 64 ounces per day. It seems everyone on here gets different information from their doctors.

Hope this helps

thank you

Welcome George,

I was a little sore, no nausea. Went home the following day after the leak test. After that it was all down hill. Went back to work after two weeks. Everyday it gets so much better. Everyone here will be happy to help you in any way that they can.

Hi George,

Well there is so much to expect, you might want to get more specific with your questions. What I can tell you though for me, I dealt with some nausea, vomiting and lots of fatigue for a the first two months. After I got to eat solids and was able to get all my Water in along with taking all my supplements I began to feel better and better. I feel fantastic now and I'm within reach of my goal now. So, life's great with the sleeve!!

Good luck!
