Okay? How long after surgery when you start realizing that the sleeve is good and is going to help you lose weight. I feel bloated and fat. And I'm one week out.

I was a week out when I finally felt better. It takes a while to lose the bloating, you will be fine! Just keep up your fluids and walk as much as you can...worked wonders for me! Good luck to you!

Well I think its different for everyone but for me personally it was around day 8 that I had that.epiphany lol. My surgeon leaves a drain in till day 8 and when I went in to the office to have it removed I felt really good. Just follow all the instructions and it will all fall into place. Best wishes!!

For me about 6 - 8 weeks. At first I had lotsa gas even though I took previcid each day and gasx 4 times a day and my left side felt swollen n very sore at that time life and liquid food was yuck. When food started to be reg and I could then tell a small amt. of solid food filled me up and I felt satisfied with 1/3C at meals and the scale showed me the weight dropping off I also was able to stop all meds for diabetes and cut down on High blood pressure meds then I could say life is good!
