  1. Hi SLSH, thanks for sharing. When did you have the surgery? How is your over all healing process coming along? Where do you live and who did your surgery? I am very worried my sleeve is not tight and small enough enough. My over all recovery has been so easy. I am not allowed to exercise till day 22 post op, I felt so good that on day 11 post op I went on the treadmill for 20 min, walked and the next day I did 25 min on the treadmill. I felt just fine and still do. Is my speedy recovery normal? I start eating pureed food on day 17, June 29th 2019. I hope I can tell than if my stomach was made small and tight enough. I am so worried. I wonder if anyone knows exactly how many oz or mls a gastric sleeved stomach is supposed hold for each meal once fully healed?
  2. Thanks, I truly hope my sleeve has been made small and tight enough.
  3. Hmmm, my experience has been totally different. I barely have had any pain, and drinking liquids has been just fine for me. I am starting to worry maybe my sleeve is not small enough or tight enough. I only had a some pain the first 2 days, by the 3rd day I was at the circus with my family in Mexico. Well I did have a lot of inflammation at the area where the fundus is in the stomach, so they gave me a steroid shot twice, once on the 2nd day post op and another one on the 4 th post OP day, maybe that's what speed up my recovery. As far as drinking enough liquids, I recommend keeping vitamin water zero or powerade zero next to you at all times and just taking a few sips every 5 to 10 min. This method helped me a lot to get 64 fl oz in a day. I really wanted to do my surgery back here in LA, but health insurance would not cover my surgery because I was not fat enough for them yet. Anyway I am so happy I found you, since we almost got out surgeries around the same time, we can compare our progress together. [emoji173] I hope and pray this works for both of us. [emoji120]
  4. Hi Brittany, I am doing good, a lot better than expected. My sleeve was done by Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana, he did a fantastic job. How are you and recovering going for you? Where did you get yours done and where do you live?
  5. This is what I used. I hope it helps https://marenagroup.com/sfbht-compression-bodysuit-mid-thigh-length/
  6. Hi Brittany, I would love to be your sleeve sister. I just had the sleeve last Wednesday, June 12th 2019 in Mexico. I live in Los Angeles and am so excited about the journey ahead of me.
