Hi Carrie,
This was actually my first surgery, so I don't have any other experience to compare it to. I had a hard time with nausea in the hospital so they kept me there 4 days, until I could drink more and had peed enough. I think I was unprepared for the agony of recovery and I know I felt regret at the time, but now that I'm healed I barely think about that. I've always been impressed by the efficiency at Kaiser facilities, and how everything is done so fast and by so many different people. I felt well cared for there. I never met Dr. Belzberg but Dr. Zane is THE expert at Kaiser in the bariatric dept. and I am very happy with my sleeve. I want to ask him how big my sleeve is though, because sometimes I feel like I can eat a lot, and I'm always hungry. Hope that goes away, as some say it went away for them at 3 months. Good luck with your surgery...what day will it be? I'm going there on 3/23 to see Dr. Zane for my follow up appt., maybe you'll be there then!

So how's it going with eating mushies? There isn't too much I like so I eat mostly eggs, beans, yogurt, cheese, potatoes and applesauce. How about you? What are you eating? I've lost 15lbs and came back to work today. Let me know how you're doing.

I think it will go away pretty soon. I held my belly for several days too, but today, 2 weeks out, I can hardley tell I had surgery. Just rest, really rest and you will heal. Hope you feel better soon.
