The doctor also said I had a hernia on my diaphragm that she also removed. But taking my liquids in every 20 min when I'm up. Can't wait for my stomach to go back to regular it's still swollen I swear I still have air. Well hopefully everyone one that had surgery the same day as me is doing good. And good luck to all further sleeves.
