Just curious, but with all the bad things on here, are there any of you out there who have had no problems of any kind? Zero, nada, zilch. I'm new to this and still ,I suppose tying to make sure I haven't made a mistake? What those who have been sleeved for several years?

I'm a relatively recent sleeve (June 7th), and consider myself problem free. I've had a couple of issues, didn't really know how to sip, but that was my own stupidity, not a real problem, just had to listen to others and learn. I've only thrown up once in two weeks, again my own stupidity, not a real problem. I have NO REGRETS, 15 days and down 35 lbs, this is fantastic. Best decision I've made in years.

4-1/2 years post-op and have developed a problem that requires revision surgery. The thread is entitled "Deja-Vu all over again". Have a look. Weigh in.

That being said, VSG is amazing thing that will change your life. I would do it over again, even knowing I would need a revision in 4-1/2 years. BTW - my current condition is pretty rare - although not unheard of.

I'm 3 weeks out and haven't had one single problem

2 weeks out n Zero problems here...

I chickened out last September because of reading all of the regrets. Now here I am months later having to re do all of the insurance requirements. From what I am told, people tend to post the negative. It's an outlet for them. Also, the people who did have complications might have been in poor health prior to surgery. Other than me being 90 pounds overweight, I am healthy. My doctor said he does not for see me having any issues, UNLESS, I do not follow his instructions post op. people point out the negative more thAn the positive

3 weeks out and zero problems. No vomiting, no pain pills after release from hospital (maybe 2), very little nausea and a 30+ pound weight loss. I'm happy!

Sparker, I'm curious as to what you've read to make you feel that there are so many regrets or problems...what do you consider a problem?

I'm 9 weeks out & have not had anything I would consider to be a complication. Very little pain, no nausea, I've never vomited & I haven't had any problems with anything I've eaten, I've followed my doctor's plan so I haven't had pasta or rice or red meat which have been known to be more difficult to digest.

I was sleeved on 3/19/13 and have not had any issues. Everything tastes the same, no intolerances to anything, no pain, nausea or any type of surgical complication side effects, no regrets.

I'm 3 weeks out and other than some minor bumps already listed by others, I've had no complications or major problems. Down 29lbs. Just wish I would/could have done this sooner!!!!

I'm just over a month out and so far I've had zero complications or problems. I've had some scares but they were all just in my head because I think too much.

I had surgery 3/6/13. I have had no problems at all.

No, nada, nuttin at all. I'd say it was a piece of cake, but its even been easier than eating cake.

4.5 months out and no problems because of the sleeve. My only issue was a dermabond allergy, and it was minor.

I was revised from the Lapband to the sleeve on 4/22/13. I'm only down 31lbs but it's gone forever.... I've had no problems whatsoever, I thought for a while my DR just removed my band because I was feeling so well. I can tolerate everything so far, I just eat much smaller portions. This week I'm getting on a serious exercise routine & hopefully that will increase and speed up the weight loss. My only regret is I wish I would have done the sleeve instead of the band 5 yrs ago.
