I'm super glad that your surgery went really well, and that you're feeling better! Did you have any gas pains, and if so, how did you relieve them? I'm really nervous about that bit going into my sleeve on Dec. 9.

I had surgery on the 29th----everyone warned me about gas pain and vomiting. Well guess what? No gas pain at all, and I have not vomited. Each experience is unique, thank goodness! I feel 100% better and am ready to return to work Good luck to all!!

19th sorry, typo

I too had my surgery on Oct. 22, 2015. The surgery went great, my nurses, CNA's were all top notch!! Friday I was shown how to drink water and was started on protein drink later in the day. Saturday I was home and on my own. I had very little pain after the surgery and because I walked a lot in the hospital, I had very little gas pain. Protein, liquids, and water fill my day. I'm doing fine with the Protein and liquids, but I am struggling with getting in all my water. There just isn't enough time in the day.

No gas pains at all , vomited only once in the hospital after I had to drink that awful stuff to see if I had any leakage , it came right back up nasty . Other than that it's been fine . I could not be more happy with the outcome and how I feel .

so does everyone who has the sleeve have to do the drink thing to check for leaks?

I didn't have to do that.

Usually.

My surgeon initially checked for leaks while I was still on the table under anesthesia. I then had a leak test the next morning before I was cleared liquids.

Great to hear!

Not sure , but my dr checks before surgery is over and the morning before you go home , that is when u stand in front of a screen drink while they watch , two sips was it but was horrible . That is my only complaint
