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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
