Hi all,

So I'm 9 days out from my procedure & it's been pretty easy for me to drink my fluids...like alarmingly easy. I have a little bit of burpy feeling of a drink too much of a mouthful, but absolutely no side affects otherwise. I didn't stretch my sleeve out already did I?? I'm kind of concerned.

Liquids go right through your sleeve, so no, you aren't doing any damage. I mean, if you can gulp down a cup of water in a few seconds, then that would be unusual. But if you are taking small drinks with no issue, then you sound normal.

I was lucky like you and could drink easily. I've still been really successful with my sleeve. Be glad not to struggle! But don't think it means your sleeve is too big or anything like that.

I am 17 days out and I too have no issue drinking fluids. I have had no major issues. It kind of scares me that maybe the pouch wasn't made small enough or something is wrong. I have read so many stories from people saying how difficult and different things will be. I worry I am doing something wrong because I don't have problems.
