I'm 2 weeks post sleeve to bypass conversion due to GERD and vertical hernia.
I'm still on the liquid diet phase. I'm able to get my liquids and Vitamin in. I definitely miss the restriction with the gastric sleeve.
Recovery is slower and more painful this time. I'm still hurting from intubation throat pain and hernia repair. I still have pain from surgical gas trapped in my upper belly and left neck/ shoulder and . I walking 30 mins 4 x / week to move gas and wearing compression to reduce swelling. It seems the sleeve recovery was much easier.

Hello
I'm 2 weeks post sleeve to bypass conversion due to GERD and vertical hernia.
I'm still on the liquid diet phase. I'm able to get my liquids and Vitamin in. I definitely miss the restriction with the gastric sleeve.
Recovery is slower and more painful this time. I'm still hurting from intubation throat pain and hernia repair. I still have pain from surgical gas trapped in my upper belly and left neck/ shoulder and . I walking 30 mins 4 x / week to move gas and wearing compression to reduce swelling. It seems the sleeve recovery was much easier.
