I know everyone is different, but I'm wondering how long it took you to feel 100% after surgery? My worst fear is that I won't heal properly or it will take months and months to feel normal. Just wondering what others experience was like.

I was functional after about a week but really did not feel normal in terms of energy until about 8 weeks.

I started feeling normal about the time I started on pureed stage.

I felt really good at the three week mark, completely normal at three months.

Functional at 2 weeks. Normal at 2 months

Just call them, it's not a big deal. They actually made mine shorter an inch to have a higher bmi.

I am 4 weeks post sleeved. Every day I feel stronger but far from normal. My doctor told me normal usually occurs 6 months to a year. I am still in the healing phase. With this being said ,my expectations were put on a realistic track. Slow and Easy.

Took me about 5 weeks to feel somewhat human again.

I had a huge improvement in my energy and ability to walk after a week. I was doing great then had a gallbladder attack and had that surgery 4 weeks after my gastric bypass surgery. I know am feeling great again. Been 4 weeks since second surgery and have been back to work 2 weeks now.

Day 3 or 4, I felt really good with the exception of stomach muscular pain (like overworked ab muscles). After 7 years lap band, I had the band to sleeve revision which may be why for my speedy recovery.

Decided to add this: I did have trouble feeling hungry and that bothered me, but after day 16 when my stomach swelling went down, the fake hunger feelings dropped off.

I had the revision on Tuesday 9/27, still feeling under the weather, can't seem to get enough fluids in, trying to drink but so hard. Stomach still very sore especially the one large site. Also doesn't help I have a cough, so every time I cough hurts worse. How long did it take to get enough fluids in?

Place a pillow against you stomach and hold it to splint the area to help with the pain. Just keep taking sips.
