I didnt have a sleeve,but my advice is listen to your surgeon and follow what they say to the letter.
Its hard sometimes but just think of the end result.
Good luck

I am going for a photo shoot today, horseback riding tonight, and my mother is sending my sister and I up in a hot air balloon ride over Lancaster, Pa on the next good day with low enough winds. Feels great!! I'm no longer on any medications, no longer pre-diabetic, no longer hjave sleep apnea, no longer obese, nothing is to much effort for me now, I am a inspiration instead of an example, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! I am the before and after model for my hospital, now a motivational speaker, and self help coach. Started Weight Loss Surgery Patients Against Childhood Obesity.

I feel like I have been in a coma for 30 years having nightmares of my life but also having dreams of what I want my life to be and just finally woke up to live my dreams. - LoquaciousLaura

If you are struggling with obesity my best advice is to make a list of everything you have tried with aproximate dates and how much was lost and take it to your primary care dr and discuss what the weight loss options are for you. Make sure you are completely honest with your Dr if he or she puts you on a diet and exercise program and you stay with it for the first week and loose 4 lbs but the next week you dont follow the plan, maybe you exercise less or cheat on your diet and gain the 4 back and you feel guilty or embarissed so you dont admit to your Dr that you diddn't follow it, he or she will think they need to tweek it and make it more intense. Fact is if you didn't follow the 1st plan your not going to follow one more strict and it will fail leaving you feeling like there is no hope when you could have been honest some Dr's after hearing you cheated will say ok lets get there but taking a step back and gradually getting to that plan rather than jumping into it! So please always be honest with your Dr's. Having a psychytrist or therapist involved is also a great idea as well.
