I had veg on May 19...never lost feeling hungry & still feel no restriction when I eat...haven't lost a pound! I hadda have old gastric band out in January & hadda lotta adhesi2ns & hadda wait till May...doc said hadda hard tike again due to adhesions but got sleeve. I don't know if my adhesi2ns have impacted on my lack of progress or not..might feel ashamed, embarrassed & a failure cuz all 1 read are successes!! Just educate yourself & you will make the decision that's right for you...please don't allow my lack 2f progress to influence you, just food for thought...best wishes to you & success!

Wow!!!! Thanx soon much 4 your post!! Thought I was totally alone & ashamed & embarrassed to tell anyone about me! It's 2 months & 8 days since surgery...I never experienced any of what I had read or heard @ support groups! I had no nausea, gas & very little discomfort...I was actually looking forward to having to be coaxed to eat or drink!! Never happened...I have absolutely no restricted feeling & sick bout hearing "head hunger"...my stomach growls & no matter how much liquid I drink I'm still not full!! You made me feel better not because of you struggle but because you made me realize I'm not the ONLY ONE!! I haven't lost or gained anything!! I was told it's in my head, I needs eat more, cause my body was "holding onto what calories I had eaten" etc. I'm 5'4" & weigh 230!!! What is wrong with ne'er?? Not even cutting out part of my stomach helps me!!! Feel so low. HELPPP anyone!!

I read such wonderful success stories & so happy 4 you all...I am 2 months post open & have just the opposite...I had the lapband 4 7 yrs...after much pain Hades get it out due to slippage & constant vomitting & pain...got band removed & due 2 massive adhesions was unable 2 get sleeve as planned 4 right after removal...4 months later, 2 months ago I got the sleeve...as of 2 day haven't lost an ounce...Doc said had difficult time due 2 adhesions still...feeling pretty much a failure and depressed...I feel embarrassed becuz I haven't heard of anyone who is still very hungry...I get counseling 4 food issues and still hungry & eating...don't know if adhesions affect results of surgery or what??? Just so low...any insight or advice will be very much appreciated.

I feel worse than ever after reading such great success stories...I had St 2 months ago & haven't lost 1 pound!! I am always hungry & still unable 2 control appetite!! I get counseling for food issues, but feel no difference at all...feeling quite alone & can't believe that I am only 1 who feels this way...feel hopeless & a failure...so depressed...
