Hey! Does VSG ''cure'' sleep apnea?

TO READ! They say that after 6 years, lots of people develop acid reflux and 43% regained weight! http://www.bariatricspro.com/imageServer.aspx/doc213335.pdf?contentID=20352&contenttype=application/pdf

How many pounds have you guys lost? Did you maintain those? Do you guys know the stats of regain with VSG? I'm very scared of regain!!

Is it possible for the sleeve to stretch?

Hello, My surgeon said that he is using a 36 to 40 bougie. I think this is too big. I have a friend that was sleeved by this surgeon and she gained most of her weight back. What do you think?

WHat are you guys eating one year out? do you feel normal when eating out with friends?

Hello, I am 20 and wanted to know how you guys knew you were emotionally ready?

Thanks everyone

Hello everyone, I am 20 years old, 255 lbs and 5'1. I am obese but never had any health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes. I am lucky. I am contemplating the idea to have a gastric sleeve but people keep telling i should try to lose the weight by my own first. But I am 100 pounds overweight and i'm pretty sure if i lose it I would gain it back. Do you guys think i should have surgery or that I should wait? Thanks!

You are absolutly amazing emily! wow thanks so much! The only thing i'm scared is that i'm not emotionnaly ready and loose my sense of self... Did u have any emotional issues post op?

Hello, I am 20 years old, 5'1 and 255 lbs. I would like to have honest opinions on wether I should wait to get sleeved and try loosing weight on my own or should i get sleeved? Thanks!

Thank you everyone! Aren't you guys scared that the long term results are unknown?

Thank you, this helped!

Hey guys, I am 20 years old, 5'1 and 255 lbs. I am scared that i'm too young for surgery... What do you think? THanks!

Hey guys! I know this is going to be a weird question...but i'm terrified that if I get the sleeve, i will have an emotional breakdown because of all the weight I would have lost....Like if would not feel like myself anymore.... I am scared of the ''what am i doing to myself'' feeling... did this happen to you guys?
