I am now on the sleeved side yah hoo!!!! and it is great so far . . . .no pain or need for pain pills,no nausea vomitting and I am tolerating protein and fluids without excessive gas or discomfort. I have to say this was the easiest surgery for me so far compared with my total knee replacements, birth of daughter, hysterectomy and gall bladder removal. I kind of thought this is what it would be for me except that I read a lot of blogs and complaints so it had me wondering if I would have some problems too. but NO NO NO . .. .the worst for me was the 7 day clear liquids cause I was making sure to get required amount of protein in daily 60 grams along with 64 fluid ounces of liquid and found myself waking up at night with hunger and I had to drink protein to be able to get back to sleep. since surgery I am not hungry and can drink without problems. there are more blogs with complaints than blogs with good results posted and so I want to let you all know not to fear the surgery. read all the blogs and keep those you want to remember. continue to educate yourself on the gastric sleeve and what it can do to improve your health. I am 68 years old and looking forward to not having sleep apnea, diabetes, fatty liver disease, improved arthritis and joint mobility and enjoying the rest of my long life. many thanks to ann 2 and joe poppa and others who educate all on this blog and many many good wishes to other newbys considering the sleeve for a better life.
