I am heavily researching getting gastric sleeve surgery, and this forum has been really helpful. I am curious for those who have had the surgery, or any WLS really; what is something that you found out after surgery that you wish you knew about beforehand. Both good and bad appreciated!

Honestly I can’t think of anything I wish I had known that was vital…in part because I read these forums so much preop. There are so many great threads that will give you so many perspectives and information. I read through a few surgery month buddy threads that were helpful seeing all these people talk about preop, op, post op experiences. A lot of great people have shared a ton of info, and some 18 month+ veterans have hung around and are super helpful with their advice as well.

Good luck!

Grapes, while a delicious little snack, will give me bowel cramps and purging diarrhea the next day. Fun!

But goddamn they're tasty little buggers.

Ha, really? MGB'er here, too, and I've had those bad boys since ... very early on. But you're right, they do help clean out the pipes sometimes
