As I am in my final stages of choosing Doctor in Mexico I can't help but get cold feet a little. I have no doubt that thus surgery is for me and will change my life

Has anyone had the sleeve over a year ago?

Here are my questions......

Has anyone passed all the leak tests and later on found they had a leak?

Can you really eat anything you want after your stomach heals but in very small portions. I want to change my eating habits. I need to. I would just hate to miss out on eating small portions of good food on e in awhile. Vacations ect. I am a foodie.

Does anyone feel after one year that they made a mistake?

Please! I want to hear it all. Good and bad. Thank you!!!

I am 10 months out. Yes there is a very very small chance of a leak which is usually out of your control. I think the stats are 1%. Personally I have had no issues except a few gallbladder attacks from losing weight too quickly - which a lot of us unfortunately have to deal with.

I can eat and drink whatever with no issues including alcohol it is the same for me as before. I have not experienced any form of dumping. So I still have my "treat" days. Weddings, parties etc. I am at first goal now of a normal BMI for the first time in my life and of course I have no regrets!

My only concern now is maintenance and keeping vigilant about regain etc.

Goodluck with your surgery and decision

Thank you so much for your story!!! I am Definatly looking forward to a life change

Leaks are possible, however unlikely. your surgeon will educate you on warning signs. Try not to worry about that...

I'm more than 2 years out. I can eat and drink everything/ anything I want. I'd guess 98% of us can. Don't worry about that either! I chose to make good choices usually...but can enjoy a slice of pizza and a beer on Friday night with my boyfriend, or splurge on a cupcake at work when a coworker has a bday.

All in all getting sleeved was the best thing I have ever done for myself!

I was sleeved in June, I had my surgery in the Dominican Republic, but my doctor came from Miami to perform the surgery. I had the band before and it really hurt me more than it helped. I had no complications and I'm able to eat anything and everything, but I try to make healthier choices. Well yesterday I jumped the wagon I ate eve a half of a red velvet cupcake ????

I've stalled now for over a month and someone told me to add more calorie for one or two days to jump start my body. I'm hoping this works and I don't end up gaining weight.

GOOD LUCK!
