Freaking out because it's going TOO well?!

I'm 9 days post op.... And this has been a breeze! The worst part was a sore throat from the breathing tube! No nausea, almost no pain, no gas, no problem drinking my liquids! I can drink regular mouthfuls without discomfort. I didn't have an appetite for the first 2-3 days but it returned right before starting full liquids. Now I'm pretty hungry and these liquids aren't cutting it! Lol. No restriction yet... But My doctor told me to I may not experience that until actual food. I never had to take my pain meds. My incisions are tiny and almost healed. I FEEL 100% NORMAL.... And it's freaking me out! I'm driving myself crazy thinking that this isn't going to work and I just wasted $11,000 since I'm having NONE of the symptoms I expected. I've nearly accused my surgeon of malpractice! He is a very reputable and legitimate Doctor so I've managed to keep my emotions in check...kind of. I'm hoping someone else has had a similar experience and can reinforce that just because I'm not having the "usual" experience, doesn't mean it won't work. I'm driving myself and everyone around me crazy!

      First of all, your experience actually is the normal experience. Seriously. Sounds like my post-op experience. Most people have a complication-free surgery, a fast recovery, and make their

    I had no nausea, no gas pains, no problem drinking. I am in pain when I get off the couch or out of bed. I'm ok just sitting. Hopefully the pain will subside in a couple days. I had surgery on Monday.

    I was sleeved on Monday and feeling the same. I was actually thinking about calling surgeon today because I had not seen this in post. I am very sore on my right side, but it does not hurt unless I move around. Eating and drinking does not bother me at all.

    I think it's normal. It's where they pullout the excess.

    Hardest part for me is the liquid diet... I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I'm getting tired of the liquid...... not much pain for me either... little tender around the incision but that's it! Congrats to you and good luck!!!
