I had a complication I ended up with pnemonia and a blood clot. I chose the sleeve because, it offered the most benefits and least amount of complications. I got unlucky but, would do it again in a minute I am 27 lbs down and I haven't had a lot of gas pain. I am struggling with Protein and getting liquids in but, I am working on it and have not been hungry once. I fill up quickly and am hopeful this is going to be the tool to finally help me lose this weight.

Hi' date='how did your surgery go? I am thinking about the sleeve,I am going though the steps. Why did you choose the sleeve?

How long did the gas pain last?[/quote']

Overall my surgery has gone very well. I had it on 9/4 and was released on 9/7. The reason for the delayed release was due to dry heaving immediately after the surgery which was awful. I also had elevated BP which needed to be under control. I chose the sleeve because I only need to loose about 80 lbs. when I started (Pre surgery & liquid diet) on 8/21 I was at 220 lbs and I'm now at 195. So so far so good. My diet after surgery for 7 days consisted of Clear Liquids (water, crystal light, green teas,), for the next 14 days thru week 3 post surgery I'm on cloudy liquids (cream Soup, Protein shake). I'm looking forward to 8/26 when I start puréed foods. I really did not experience gas pain or any major pain for that matter. Although I do take the pain meds to help me be more comfortable at night. Again overall things are well in fact I flew on Friday to attend a business trip.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
