Brown hen just a little Rip them apart Place 1 tablespoon oil Ina pan Add ripped tortillas Then add your shredded chicken Then add about a cup of tomatillo salsa (I made my own) Then sauté for a few minutes Add two egas scrambled.

Yummy! I am cooking recipes for the family using ingredients I can eat and just purée my version

After reading complications people are going through years later with the SLEEVE... I'm too scared now to do it!
Before I had my sleeve I read this blog up and down and sideways. Especially the complication forum. I also read other sites Internet, basically anything I could get my hands on BUT I've not seen someone get a leak "years" later As someone suggested you should discuss complications with your surgeon.

Pain after sleeve surgery?
The worst pain I had was when I woke up from surgery. I was immediately medicated and was fine. From there on out it was discomfort and was easily managed by Tylenol with codeine for 3/4 days and after that nothing.
