Did you change your eating habits? The sleeve lessens what you eat but you still have to eat healthier for it to work long term.

I’m 3 weeks post op after gastric sleeve and most mornings I have dry heaving and nausea. I feel like I’m pregnant all over again (I’m not). If so does it ever go away?

I backed out the first time after my husband talked me out of it and always regretted it. I just finally had it done a few weeks ago and I only had gas pain in my chest the first day. By the next day I was fine and I don’t feel like I even walked that much but I have been told I have a high pain tolerance. It may depend also on how good of a job the doctor does getting the gas out before closing you up. My incision pain was nothing, I never really felt pain there or in my stomach. The hardest part for me is giving up solid foods for so long afterwards and acid reflux, I have felt pretty hungry. I lost 20 before surgery and I’m already down 37 pounds total so I feel like it was the right decision for me. I’m having dry mouth pretty bad at night and I’m very tired from lack of food and caffeine but that will all pass as I reintroduce solids and I’ve heard the dry mouth goes away too.
