Why the sleeve and not bypass?
I chose the sleeve because I was afraid of the malabsorption issues. That, and I know a girl that had RNY and lost a ton-but she is always sick and has had 5 surgeries to repair a fistula.

Eat or drink protein?

Shout out to womans hospital
Awesome! My only complaint was my nurses once on the floor. As a nurse, my pet peeve is waiting an hour after hitting the call light for assistance. Everyone else rocked.

Hungry
At 5 weeks I was ravenous, all of a sudden. Even after a meal. Had been taking Prevacid daily since surgery. Changed to nexium twice a day, and had immediate relief.
