Congratulations!!!! And yes you do carry your weight in the right places. You are a very beautiful lady. I just did the sleeve on March 4th, 2020. Today is 4 days PO, I've had a bit of a rough patch, not everyone is the same. The first 2 days for me was the worse. I asked my bf to take me to a spa to do an IV for hydration. I couldn't handle the pain meds that made me sick . I was sooo weak and dehydrated. I did the IV on Friday, by Saturday I had more energy not dizzy. My shortness of breathe wasn't helping either. Using my rescue inhaler helped dearly. Today Sunday,, I was able to drink 6 ounces of tea,, small sips at a time walking around . Average 20 minutes. I am going to attempt to go back to work tomorrow. Hopefully I can tough it out. Best wishes.
