I was sleeved together with gallbladder and gallstones removal on 12/21/2015 had complications and had a stent put in, not a leak but a blockage. Truthfully, it has not been a bad journey, but I am usually quite tough. I kept reading and reading on this forum, and as much as I tried to believe I was getting better and better (and I suppose I was) I just kept asking myself "when will I feel like the old me?" "when can eat without all this going on in my tummy?" Folks, yesterday the stent came out, and today it happened. I am hungry, I feel great, I can drink water. Thank you Lord, and thank you to this forum for all the support I have received. Hang in there, it will happen for those of you on this journey. I am seven weeks and two days since operation.

So glad you are feeling better! I was a band to sleeve revision with hernia repair and the first week was pretty rough. It does get better!

So happy to hear things are going your way. Congrats!
