I was sleeved on Sept 10, 2015 ...well at least that's what I was told. I have the scars and even felt some discomfort in my stomach lacerations. 2 night hospital stay and all.

Here's why I'm questioning if surgery was done.

I had little to no pain after surgery. It felt more like discomfort. Lots of gas. I was able to walk and continue to walk every two hours while in the hospital no problem. Since my surgery I have not experienced ANY of the issues I have read about. I have been able to get 64 ounces of fluids in daily since my surgery. Protein shakes..no problem. Today I introduced meats. I was able to eat 3 ounces chewing 30 to 40 times of course during the course of 30 minutes. I was able to get in 3 ounces of sugar free pudding while still getting in my Water with absolutely no feeling of fullness or discomfort. Now. I do not plan to push it and do more than 2 servings of meat and 2 servings of shakes a day but I will slowly increase as time goes on.

So has anyone else experience symptom free after being sleeved or should I call my doctor and ask for proof she performed surgery???

So crucify her for her sarcasm or need to vent!! Geez people this is supposed to be a supportive site. If you've got nothing nice to say..... Move on!!!

This is funny because my wife and I were starting to ask the same thing...lol!

My surgery was on 09/11/2015, and I had one day of grogginess and laziness and took 1/2 a dose of they pain meds. The next night I took my regular dose, and slept my 6 hours with no issues,and have not really stopped since then. I mean I finished up my liquid diet on 09/17, and 09/18 I went to phase 2 which I will be until my 6th week. I am keeping it to meats, cheese, yogurts, Beans, eggs, and wheat thins...but hot sauce or spicy foods are no problem at all....veggies are harder to get in but I work them in as well. I can tell from the weight loss that I am on the right path though...how messed up would it be to be the placibo sleeve...lol

I love it when people tell others how they should and should not post, when the topic should change or not change and attempt to speak for "everyone" or "we all" when stating their own opinion. HA!

I had a great overall experience too. I was back to work a week later. I did however have to work all day at getting fluids and protein in the first few weeks. I plan out and prep all my food/protein drinks ahead of time and that makes things easier.

Your experience sounds nearly identical to mine

As a blog site owner, we all know that great post titles are the way to get people to read and reply.

Except this is a terrible inflammatory title. You have your surgeons name in your profile and you are accusing them of malpractice.

Really!!!! Malpractice from a title. The point is to read the blog which clearly does not suggest she didn't perform my surgery. And so you are aware since i seems my point is not being taken by you and Emma, I said the same thing to my doctor when I had my post op about her actually doing surgery. Please move on or skip the thread if you have nothing better to reply or better yet nothing better to do than to scrutinize the title of my thread.

Thanks to all the others who understood what I was writing and not take things to an entire different level than what the title was meaning.

Yes, In my opinion these are unhappy people and there is nothing you can do about it. They do not have to post anything, clearly they can exit the thread at anytime if they do not like what they read.

I am 9 days out and have only taken pain Meds once since home(the 1st day), have no problem getting my fluids in, & 2 protein shakes a day. I have very little discomfort, and I still lost 20 lbs in 8 days post-op at follow up yesterday. I honestly think I could handle regular food right now but i'll wait. I think it just depends on the individual. Good luck.

I was feeling the same way. I started regular foods (chewing 30 times or more) so I didn't have to pureed 2 days early. I can eat full snack size pudding in one setting. I can also get 3 ounces of chicken or turkey in.

Yes, I am with you on taking it slow so I only try eating twice a day and still drink my Protein Shakes and Protein drinks for the other two meals.

Keep up the good work and thanks for replying to my thread appropriately.

Ruh roh!

I'm working up a head of steam again about message board amateurs who start threads and then whine about what others post in response.

Honey no whinning here. I do jabe a problem when they are negative post just like your post. It's supposed to be a site where people support people not voice their negative unwarranted opinions about something trivial as a title.

Im done entertaining the NEGS...please move on. I wanted the post to bring people who are experiencing the same great results ONLY. Positive people only!!

I had a very easy time after surgery and I healed Fast! I thought! I was out of the woods, but I have terrible back pain now and I don't know why :/

Snort!

Congrats, I've had symptoms and I'm going through a stall right now, but I would do it again in a second, why???? Because of many reasons, but the latest besides being able to get in a booth at any restaurant??? I went to buy new scrubs for work this week and got emotional, the girl asked me what size and I said 3x (I was a 7x), because I've lost a lot of weight, and i asked to let me try a 4x just in case, she gave me several 3x and refused to give me a 4x, then she said "you are a 2x, why are you getting 3x ?", I responded I probably was a 2x but didn't want to be disappointed, I bought all 3 scrubs(3x) they were loose, and the girl giggled And said "next time you come in if you buy the 2x I'll give you a discount ", so it's great that you had a smooth recovery, and remember you will have greater moments than that, way to go "Looser" keep it up !!!!!
