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?

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' date=' 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.[/quote']

Can't find the thread... I'm curious what the complication is.

Yes, I went in the hospital on a Thursday morning, the procedure took 40 minutes, I was awake before noon and walking around that afternoon. One night in the hospital, a leak check of the staple line, and home the next day. He used a 40 bougie.

I went back to work the following Tuesday and never looked back. No problems for 3-1/2 years. 90 total lbs lost which for me was good but about 20 lbs short of my goal weight.

The bulge discussed in the link above developed about a year ago. Why? Dunno. I wasn't doing anything different. I was told its rare, but it happens. So I'm going in for "maintenance" on July 25th to get it tightened up. This time with a 36 bougie.

Do NOT let my experience dissuade you from having this surgery. It's like a miracle.

This is the graph of my weight loss Post-op.

I've had no problems and I'm almost 5 weeks post op! I haven't been nauseated and I'm losing weight. I'm 40 pounds down .

I'm 9.5 months and great! I do get some heart burn but I don't consider that a big deal

Hi I was sleeved June 6th feel great no unusual problems. My tummy grumbles, not from pain or hunger I just believe its adjusting. However, I have noticed this week that I have been having heartburn, has anyone else dealt with that...if so, does it go away? I hope I don't go through hair loss like most do....No regrets!!

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

I'm with you. Easy as pie!

Almost 6 weeks post op, everything has gone smoothly... Though eyes are still bigger than my stomach.

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 3 months out, have lost about half of my total excess body weight, and have had no complications or issues. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Yes. It is very common. You really need to be on a ppi if you are not already on one.
