Allie Smith reacted to Tiffykins in Pros and Cons of the Sleeve ProcedureThe post-op diet can seem like a con, but it'll be the same with any WLS.
The sipping thing can be tedious, but as the months pass, and your stomach heals, sipping is not required. I drink like a "normal" person and have been doing so for months.
I honestly can't think of one con. Dining out is now an experience, and not an adventure in how much I can eat, get stuffed, and waddle out feeling like a Water buffalo. I enjoy eating out 1000 times more now than I did pre-op. It's amazing how much fun/fellowship can occur when I'm not shoveling food into my mouth.
Gas pain is temporary.
The hair loss thing was a little worrisome, but it grows back. I'll trade a little bit thinner hair to not have back fat.
All the "little" things are simply a means to an end.
