Keep in touch and let me know how it all turns out. I love the support and I love being able to talk with fellow sleevers. It's a great tool in recovery

:) will do!

does anyone else have a very noisey stomach. mine sounds like a witches culdren bubling away when ever I take a drink move anything.
Yesterday was really bad I thought it could be "dumping syndrom" but now I'm thinking it could be the gas they used to inflate my body moving around.
I want to go for a walk but am a bit concerned about not being close to the bath room.
Any thoughts / surgestions gratfully recieved

I did the first few weeks but it has simmered down. If I try new foods that don't sit well, it can bubble up again.

Tommorow will be one week out and I too can take large sips . I am not having any issues getting water down ? All liquids go down very easy , I can drink a liter of water in 15 min . I starting to get a little worried.



A high fever sounds like more than just needing water. That's indicative of infection. How are your incisions?

I called my dr he told me to take liquid Tylenol. I think my incisions are ok ? My fever is down and I feel better today , but that was scary.

Hey everyone [emoji1309]
I get sleeved the 18th of August, 50% Excited 50% Nervous
Loving the support in this thread x




You will do great. It's the best decision I've made. I feel so good I'm on a new path. Good luck and keep posted!


OMG today has been the best day so far I feel great and look forward to feeling even better.

I've been out most of the afternoon bought a couple of t shirts one size smaller, been walking around pain free.

Almost bought a naughty snack then realised I don't do that anymore.

It was the best feeling ever food does not rule my life.

Remembering it's a battle of the mind is the most important. I am three weeks out, but still have one consciously make the right decisions

As far as I hear... we're good. Swelling must be down. but i was advised to take it slow.. water is way more easier than protein to get down especially ice cold water!
