Hey there! I got my sleeve 3/13/14. I stayed in hospital overnight. I was determined to get out of there! Everything went smoothly. I underestimated the time it would take post-op to recover fully. But so far, so good. I'm planning to return to work Mon. Aside from occasional pains and leg cramps, I feel great! Expect a slow return to solid foods, 4-6 weeks. Week one was more broth and liquids. Im on purees now and feeling great! Good luck and be positive. You'll be fine.
