My experience with the gastric sleeve was not a very good one after the surgery I dry heaved for 6 hrs straight. I was very very sick after surgery with a fever and exhaustion and I was very very thirsty. I had a break down because even drinking water was very painful. I'm one week in tomorrow and it has become easier to drink but the pain has not fully gone away and neither has the feeling of being thirsty. I have faith that it will get better with time, at least I hope and pray that the feeling of thirsty goes away. I wish everyone the best in their journey. For those of you that think this is the easy way out it is not. It was a physical,emotional and psychological battle. However I think in the long run it will be worth it.
