First of all, I am so sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum,
Second, I cant seem to find an answer to all of my questions about life with the sleeve....
I am going to post a whole bunch of questions and you dont have to answer all of them, only the one you know the answer to (just to make it easier)
I Live in theTexas Border and I am currently going to
DR. MICHAEL C. MORRIS, M.D. (Lone Star Surgical)
General, Laparoscopic & Bariatric Surgeon
He is a fairly young Dr. But He's the Trauma Director, Sub-director of ICU and Medical Director of Bariatrics at the Laredo Medical Center. (One of the Only 2 hospitals we have here)
So I thought it was one of my best choices.....
(Any Comments on Dr Morris?? Has anybody here been sleeved by him??)
Anyhow.... as for my questions...
I am Hispanic, so our foods are TRADITIONAL, We dont eat them often but when we do I would love to at least have a taste...
1-Compared to the lapband how difficult is it to eat "whatever"? Am I going to feel like I am going to die if I have a bite of something not considered Diet food? ?
2-Does the sleeve control your life as much as the band?
3-Has anybody gotten pregnant with the sleeve? If so how did it affect you?
4-Can you vomit with out any consequences? Unlike the band that puking is a BIG NO NO! (I mean 10 months after my surgery, if I get the Flu, will I be ok to let it take its course with all the puking?)
5-Do you get MALNURISHED with the sleeve?
6-Once you have reached your weight goal....can you STOP loosing weight? ( I dont want to be 5'7 and be 98lbs you know?)
7-Will I have to visit my DR every 2-3 weeks like with the band for the rest of my life??
8-WORST PART ABOUT HAVING THE SLEEVE??
9-CAN YOU DO SIT UPS AND CRUNCHES WITH THE SLEEVE?
(dumb question I know)
10-Is weight loss really alot faster with the sleeve than with the band??
11-Worst part about the sleeve Diet?
Ok I think that is all for now:blushing:
Knowing me I will probably have more later.....
Thank You :001_smile:!!!
