Anyone with a sleeve



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had a sleeve longer than 2 years here? If so have you gained weight back like with band?? Do you have complication like we have with the band. Just trying to make up mine on if I want the sleeve once my band is removed.

I've had mine for over two years. The only complications I've had were self inflicted. I was eating to fast, to much, and not chewing enough. Don't do that you throw up a lot and have major stomach aches. I haven't gained any weight back. I'm actually still slowly losing weight.

I'm about 20 days short of the 2 year mark. I don't have any complications other than that I can't really eat fats, milks, or oils without getting sick, so other than barfing a lot when I make bad food decisions, I've had no issues. I fluctuate about 3-4 pounds but I've been under goal for about 5 months and haven't had a super hard time maintaining.

I will be 4 years from my band to sleeve revision at end of this year. I have done well, small regain but still very close to goal. No complications.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
