  1. I was sleeved on sep 21, I was also told over and over " you shouldn't have surgery...." " you're too small for surgery" I was 216 the day of my surgery(5'5). However, No one knew the struggle I had with my weight. I'm sorry to hear you not feeling too good, but I promise it's going to get better ????. After my surgery, I was in so much pain I regretted being sleeved. I'm doing well now and sooo thankful I made this decision. Also, talking to others that were sleeved helps; they also believe it's was the best decision they made. Once your body adjust and you're feeling better, you will feel better about your decision. It will take about 6 weeks before you may feel "normal" again. The metallic taste in your mouth is from the anesthesia, it will go alway after a few weeks, just keep in mind, you body needs to recover from the surgery ( mentally and physically) and these things are temporary Side effects of the surgery. Good luck

    Recovery time

    I returned to work one week from the day of my surgery (sleeved on 9/21/2015). But I also sit at a desk for the marjority of my work hours. I felt fine within a week, I think two weeks is a good set of time. Still working on the horrible feeling of GERD, but no pain for the surgery. But it all depends of you, my mother was unable to return to work with two after her sleeve surgery.
