Nope. I woke from surgery as if I had a good nap and could have got up and left. I felt as if I didn't have the surgery. By the time I left for the hotel I was on the go. Went shopping, sightseeing and stayed extra time to enjoy a MX and S Cailifornia vacation. Flew home to enjoy a skiing vacation (didn't ski), but I had no complaints in regards to surgery. Felt I could have returned to work when I got home, but I already took the time off so I enjoyed it

You MUST.. Walk walk walk the minute you wake up. This is the only thing that will make your gas pains go away. I didn't have any, but many do. I didn't realize I had a drain until I got up to walk.. So remember to be careful not to pull on it while turning or moving around.

I'm not sleeved but researching and trying to decide what I want to do. If I do I will be going to Mexico to Dr. Ponce to have the surgery. My friend had it done four months ago and she said that the staff and Trish was the best!!! Just have to way out the pros and cons. What was your starting weight? I live in Las Vegas Nevada.

I was the same way. Kept thinking and thinking and to be honest i wasn't even100% sure when they wheeled me to the OR. I am 5 days post op today and I feel fine, just a bit tired. But when it comes to experience with dr Ponce and trish- I would do it again in a heartbeat. I drove alone and trish was there every step of the way.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
