I was just sleeved on July 8th, and YES, knowing what I know now, in this short amount of time, I would do it all over again. I made the right decision for me! I was on a liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery and am still on a liquid diet. The purpose of being on the liquid diet prior to surgery is to deplete the glycogen stored in your liver, making the size of your liver smaller. This makes laparoscopic surgery easier for the surgeon and no chance of your liver getting in the way. I have not had to use Gas strips as of yet. When I eat to fast, or gulp my liquids it hurts.The bubbles are a killer, like Shelley said. I also have learned a lot on this forum in just the short amount of time I have been on and there is a lot of support here.
