I just recently had my gastric sleeve a few weeks ago and am already loving it. Surgery went great & so far post surgery hasn't been as hard as I expected. However, there are some small things I'm wondering that I don't want to bother my surgeon with and I don't know anyone else personally that has had this procedure. I'm looking forward to talking with others on this site about their experiences, mine, and what would be considered "normal".

Re: Hello Gastric Sleeve Community!!
Welcome! I agree, there are some questions I don't want to ask my surgeon. They have monthly group events which really help AND they have holiday parties!
I sure picked a good place to go & I'm glad I found this group.
Slow & steady wins the race

Re: Hello Gastric Sleeve Community!!
Congrats on making the journey. Feel free to ask your questions here but also don't be afraid to ask the surgeons office. I know form experience they would rather you ask than not to make sure you get the best of your tool.
