I too had second thoughts about my sleeve. The more I read the more I was confused and unsure about making the right decision. I just keep coming back to feeling like if I didn't do this then what. I knew I would keep gaining weight and feeling like I should have taken the chance to be thin and happy.
I had my surgery on December 14th and so far I have felt everything from happiness to sadness . I have read that it is normal to have these feelings at first. I will feel better about my decision once I can really eat normal food.< /p>
But! There is nothing better than seeing the weight come off and your body looking good!! Take a chance on yourself, I don't think u will regret it.

When you can cross your legs comfortably instead of them being crossed at the knees and your leg keeps falling off your other leg!!

I lost 90 pounds with my lap band.....it slipped so I had it removed and 2 years later I started to gain weight back, so I just got the sleeve on 12/14/15. I've lost 14 lbs so far but I only have 24lbs total to lose.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, they are good ideas. It kind of makes me made not to finish these since they cost me so much but I know I need the Vitamins and Calcium. I'm going to look into the patch idea.

So far I'm doing pretty good, I only had 24 lbs to lose so I'm losing slower than most. I've lost 14 lbs so far since 12/14/15. No vomiting at all with the sleeve. The first month of eating liquid and soft food sucks!! I start on normal food in about a week and a half, can't wait!!

Yes I guess that was it. I did finally drop another 4 pounds so I'm happy about that.

Hello.....my weight loss journey started 5 years ago when I got a lap band. I did really well with the band and lost 90 pounds. I got to within 10 lbs of my goal weight but those ten pounds wouldn't budge. I struggled with vomiting almost 1 meal a day, But I was happy and would do anything to be thin. Then one day I couldn't eat not even half of my small amount of food. I went to the doctors to find out what was wrong with me. I got an X-ray which confirmed that my band had slipped to the middle of my stomach. I had another surgery to try to fix it or remove it. Unfortunately the doctor couldn't fix it so it was removed. I was very worried that my weight would come back. At first I kept the weight off saying to myself that "I had learned how to stay thin". But a year later the weight started to creep back on. So 2 years later I decided to get the sleeve. My surgery was December 14th this year. Although I don't have a lot of weight to lose it is a struggle or maybe even more of a struggle since I have so little to lose. I sometimes feel like I don't belong since I'm not as big as when I first started. I wish I could meet someone else out there that has a similar story......

I had my lap band removed 2 years ago because it slipped. I used to vomit all the time. I just got sleeved on December.14th so it is new to me. I was nauseated in the hospital right after but no vomiting just some dry heaving. So far I've only experienced stomach aches but no vomiting.

I too was sleeved on 12/14 and I am on the purée stage. I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day plus some purée foods like Soup, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. I too feel hungry about every 2 hours. I asked my doctor about this and she said that was normal and when I feel hungry to eat or drink something. I also worry that I am taking in too much so I'm going to start to measure my purée in a 4 oz cup so i don't eat more than I'm supposed to. Try staying full on Water and Protein shakes so that your stomach doesn't feel empty.
