Hi,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?

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.

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.

/ice! im on thursday!!

Soooo September 4ers!!! How are y'all doing?! I just hit 47 lbs since surgery! Updates?!?
