I had my sleeve done August 2011. I did have a major complication. I had a stricture. Went through a very tough time... I can tell you though that I am a very rare case. And I sooo glad that I had this surgery done. There is pretty much nothing I cant eat. Just smaller portions. You dont want more. You change. Your full. You dont want more! lol. I just had my complete blood work done. I am lacking in nothing and very healthy. I weigh 138 with a two pound bounce. My goal is 135 but, whatever. Anyways, I feel great! So great! I look great. I am happy now. I lost that same 60lbs so many times over. It was time to get off the crazy train.
