Looking to see how this surgery works from a male perspective. Nervous but excited

Gas almost gone. Still a little pain in one shoulder. I really have to focus to slow down and not to gulp. Water goals are good. I can also down a Protein shake a day.

Along with my gatric sleeve procedure, my surgeon also reduced the hiatal hernia I have.

Sounds like your surgeon did a great job and you are having minimal complications. It doesn't always go this well. I am 8 weeks out and it still takes me 30 to 45 minutes to down a Protein Shake.

I feel extremely lucky. It's nice to know the swagger my surgeon had in his abilities matched reality.

I hope things go similarly well for you guys with surgery coming up.

Hope so. I have surgery in 2 days and am getting nervous. 46 years old and never have had a surgery since I was a baby. Wonder how many people have thoughts of backing out? I won't but can't say it hasn't crossed my mind.

I'm on day three post op. The sleeve was a success. I am not in a lot of pain but I am taking my pain med religiously. In the hospital the biggest issue was passing gas and having a bowel movement. This happened 48hrs later. I can say I don't regret anything and just walking half a mile today felt great. My only issue is that my fingers are still numb. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
