I have a sleeve and my loss (so far) can be seen to the left of this post.

My recovery was fairly good, I had some incision discomfort for a while (and did end up with a wicked case of contact dermatitis), had some initial stomach spasms when I first tried some clear fluids, but that didn't last long. Minimal gas but I did walk a lot (a real lot) while in the hosiptal I was there two nights but not discharged until late on the third day. I was able to fly home on the fourth day, flight was about 1.45hrs.

Haven't had any nausea or any other issues so far.

Very happy.

At the age of 73, I had this done last year. I had no pain, no problems, followed the eating directions religiously. I've been more successful than I could ever dream of and will never look back.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
