I got the gastric sleeve done on Feb 2 2016.. Everything and everyone involved were very professional.. I felt great after having the procedure for the first 5 days then it felt like a truck had run over me.. I rested at home for a good 2 weeks and now I'm feeling pretty darn good.. I'm on the soft foods right now and if I put something in my mouth that my stomach is not ready for it let's me know within 2 bites.. I tried scrambled eggs the other morning but I was so not ready for it so I will try again next week..I have to keep reminding myself not to drink fast otherwise my stomach hurts right away.. It's a brand new stomach so I have to treat it as such.. All in all I'm happy with my decision in having the gastric sleeve.. I will post more as the months go by and also put up my before and after pics when I feel I've lost enough..
