  • Nope. Not ever, not once, would I consider the malabsorptive procedures. Not only because I'm a successful sleeve patient, but because I'm healthy, and happy. I do not have to worry about major vitami

  • NEVER!! I think you will find very FEW people on here that regret their decision on the sleeve and the ones that do, are fairly early in the game and are thinking "what have I done", which pretty mu

If you could go back and have a different type of WLS, would you? Do you wish you would have done the DS or the RNY?? noidea.gif

Lap Band: Yes (obvious, as I did go back and do a different surgery).

Sleeve: No.

I have no desire to revise to any other WLS any further at this point. Depends on how my health is doing in the future. As for now, me and my sleeve are doing quite well together.

So far, so good, and no regrets. I won't know for several years (hopefully) whether the DS with its better regain resistance would have been a better choice, but all indications pre-op and so far post-op (75+% to goal in about 4 1/2 months) were that the VSG was the way to go for me.

No chance at all that I would have switched my surgery...I'm happy with my sleeve. I did all my research and felt 100% confident that the sleeve was the right choice for me.

I love my sleeve, I would only consider getting something else if I gain all the weight back that I lost on the sleeve... unlikely.

Never. When I heard about VSG, it was like meeting The One. It just felt right and I could never bring myself to do one of the other surgeries though I researched them for years. I would do the VSG again, 100%.

I've lost 82 lbs in about 4 months and I feel GREAT! I have only 53 lbs to goal of 185. This was the best decision I have EVER made for myself. Would do it again in a heartbeat! I am so glad my surgeon recommended this to me instead of RNY because I was going to do whatever he felt best. He said "I think the sleeve would be best for you" and I said "okay then". After I researched it I knew it was the right decision!
