You need to call your doctor immediately. You could have a leak.

I meant eat and DRINK differently....

I had the surgery on a Monday and went home on Thursday. It was painful (to be expected when they remove most of your stomach), but not unbearable. My advice, follow the rules so you won't relapse or injure your surgery site. It will be a major adjustment especially since you are used to eating whatever you want whenever you want. After surgery, you will have to train your self to eat and treat differently. But, I would do it all again!

Well, I am not 6 days out but I will be happy to share my journey. I was sleeved 7/27/15 and I am 70 lbs down.

Greetings all. I agree that the fun has gone. However, I am 5 months our and I have found that when I do crave junk food (fries, coke, burger, pizza), I allow myself 2-3 bites and I am satisfied. More importantly for me though, the food makes me feel sluggish and bloated afterwards, so it makes me think twice before doing it again.

You go girl! Doesn't it feel wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Hello all, I was sleeved July 27, 2015. Initially, I was not hungry at all. Now, 5 months later and close to 60lbs down, I do get hungty. However, a few bites of food satisfies me. I ate more than the norm during the holidays, but still lost weight because of my choices and gym workouts. Good luck to you all. We can do this!

So far so good for me. 52 lbs down since July 27, 2015 and 50 more to go

Before and after

I got the band in 2005 and had major problems resulting in 2 hospital stays. The same surgeon removed the band in 2014 and I waited a year so scar tissue could heal. I got the sleeve in July 2015 and so far so good. I am half way to my goal.

My story of lap band failure and being sleeved a year later.

Half way to goal. 50 more lbs to lose.
