Hello,

I read a post from somebody asking to describe how recovery went.  By the time I located my post from months ago I could find the OP again.  So... if you are about to be sleeved and are wondering what to expect here is a post I wrote right after surgery.  Good luck to all the newly sleeved!

 No problem.  I am glad I wrote it up when I experienced it and not wait until now.  I have some serious rose colored glasses on when I think about those first 2 weeks and hardly remember at all any of the discomfort I described in that post.
