I'm wanting view points on the gastric sleeve. If you have had the procedure would you do it again? What are the long term results? I would like to have the surgery in July.

In a New York minute!!!! My long term goal is to be stable and healthy around 138-140 lbs.

Hey, Barb! Welcome. I don't know how many responses you'll get in pre-op. You might try reporting in the post-op thread. You can also do a search for something like "would you do it again"? I know I've seen at least two different threads like that.

Good luck on your Quest.

Yep, in a flash! It saved my life. I am now healthier than I have been since childhood.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. and Yes.

Now, had you asked me the first month I would've said no. The first month was HARD. But I'm not even at month 3 yet and I'm so happy. I feel great, I can move again, I'm out doing stuff with my friends and family, I'm walking and exercising and dancing and just flat out enjoying life like I haven't in years. And I'm still 225 pounds! I just see things getter better and better as I drop more weight.

So yes, I'd totally do it again.

YES! I have said it since week 1.

I would have it done again in a heart beat! I have completely changed my old eating habits and I keep it high in proteins. Once in a while I will eat less than 1/2 of an In N Out Double double but really don't enjoy the bun anymore. i just had one and now my stomach is not liking it. Blahhhhhh! My head hunger got the best of me. I highly recommend it to whom ever is interested.

Absolutely, without hesitation.

Yes, most definitely!!!!!

In a New York minute -- only 20 years sooner!!!

I'm only two weeks today, i would so do it again!

I'm only 10 days out, so I don't know what my long term results will be, but I love my sleeve already and would do it again in an instant!! If I could have lost weight & kept it off without surgery, then I would have, but I couldn't & I'm so thrilled with my choice!!

I had mine done on the 11th of this month and even though u have to relearn how to drink and eat I'm happy I did it. The sleeve makes u more aware of what your putting in it and if its a no go...quite quickly!! Lol!! Good luck!!

I am two weeks out and I would say heck yeah!!! I wish I could had done it sooner. I have not yet had any regrets! and I don't expect to ever regret it!

absolutely!!!!

Yes, I'd do it again. On July 26,2011 I weighed 370lbs. Today I weigh 184lbs. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I feel I wasted some of the best years of my life being morbidly obese.
