Hello I just posted something about this but the more i do research, the more I am freaking out...I meat my surgeon today. I am 1.5 months out. He said that he used a 60 bougie on me, that my stomach shoul hold 9-10 oz and that he took off 75% of my stomach. the thing is, people keep telling me that because my sleeve is ''bigger'' i will regain a lot of weight 3-5 years out i cant beleive this. This cant be right. People say they used 60 bougies back in 2000...wtf. i am so sad and confused. My surgeon is the head of a renowned hospital in my city (canada) and he has done tons of sleeves! please help me

they used a 60 bougie on me...is this too big?

thanks you guys <3

Hello guys! I had surgery on may 21st. I had a follow up appointement today and asked my surgeon the bougie he used on me. He said he used a 60 bougie! OMG!!!!! That’s so big…right? I hear people talking about a 23 bougie. Im so sad…He also said that my stomach will be able to hold 9-10 oz. Is my stomach too big? Should I be worried that my weight loss wont be good? Thanks!

thanks so much guys!

Hey! So i'm 1 month out and I just started solids yesterday. And I think my surgeon made a mistake and made my sleeve too big. To be honest I dont even feel like I have been sleeved... Yesterday, I was able to eat a medium piece of chicken, 2 asparagus and a little bit of mashed potatoes. I feel like I can eat more than people saying ''im full with 3 bites''. Is this normal? I never feel full plz help, im freaking out Lau xx

thankss

hello all! My surgery is in about 1 month... Any recipes to make the Optifast taste better besides putting coffee?? Thanks! Lau

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?

Are you out there? Would you share your experience and surgeon?

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, thank you. Do you think I am too young for the surgery? 5'1 255 lbs

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?
