Hi Shelly my sleeve was done 12/22/15 Tuesday today is Saturday. I was not afraid of the surgery but afterwards because of the post from others . Weight start 212 lost 10 lbs pre op Sat 196. Gas pain None vomiting or nausea None Walked alittle 5 hrs after surgery . Ice chips were great had lots but they did taste salty not great I've been amazed how quickly felt good. Getting in all protein and water but it takes all day. I was really worried that I would suffer for couple weeks with terrible gas and not be able to drink water and get dehydrated. So far none of this happened. Hope this helps you feel better ,

First time but have read a lot post so helpful. Thanks everyone. Surgery date 12/22/15. 2 week pre-op 30-40 carbs. Amazing how quickly I can use those up. Also stopped coffee,first day was tough. I'm ok but that is what I have missed the most. Did not want to go through withdrawal at same time of my surgery. I am 67 so I'm feeling a little nervous about the recovery. .
