    Praying!!! I know how difficult it has been for me but I feel proud that when I have "cheated" it has only been with a salad. After the first 2-3 days it does get easier.

    it's all good. I've been overweight my whole life. I don't mind waiting that extra 4 days because I know I have a better life coming my way. My new time will be given the day before surgery but they said it'll be before 11am

    My throat didn't hurt after my sleeve surgery, but it has from others surgeries. It's a side effect of being intubated. After my sleeve I was fine. They also gave me ice chips and lots of fluids since they encourage you sipping so my throat was never dry.

    My throat hurt really bad after surgery. Swallowing Water was impossible. I was hooked up to an IV so it didn't matter too much. It got a little better each day. After a week or so I didn't have any pain at all.

    My throat was a little sore for a day or so after surgery from the intubation, but nothing major.

    I've had 4 surgeries- 2 of them I woke up feeling like my throat was on fire and 2 of them I was fine. As the others noted, it's just a side effect of intubation. The times I did wake up with a sore throat were both 6+ hour surgeries. The sleeve is about an hour so your throat doesn't dry out as much with the tube in it and you're less likely to have a sore throat. Of course you could have a rough intubation, which doesn't help much either. Either way, it heals in a few days.

    My throat didn't hurt from the anesthesia tube, but it was dry and scratchy from not being allowed Water for the first day.
