Andre, I ahve heard nothing but good things about the sleeve. There aren't any negative side effects that I have heard from the sleeve procedure. I researched alot before I made my decision to proceed with the sleeve procedure. Good luck. Soldiersgirl36

That is awsome! What a success story:)

I am sorry this happened. I love soda too. I hate the idea that I have to give it up.. I just hope after surgery it wont be as bad as I thought. Good luck, the nutritionist is being a bit harsh, however you cant have it afterward so, maybe she is just concerned that you will sneak and try it and do damage to your sleeve or something

This will be money well spent. Dont listen to others and they arent living inside your body. This will be a wonderful tool and a blessing to just be able to workout and not be hungry all the time:)

What I always wondered is if that the hormone that causes hunger is removed, then how can someone gain it all back? My mother in law had gastric bypass and lost 100 lbs and now is larger than in the beginning.. However, I never thought to ask her what is the real reason why it came back. If the hormone is gone, how is it possible to tollerate anything too much going down, ya know? And she never worked out much, only walked a bit, so im sure thats a reason. Do worry, it should go fine for u as long as u work out:)
