Who is happy with there sleeve? Can you please give me details and encouragement? I am revising from lap band to sleeve in 7 days and I need to know what to expect?

From what I've seen here 99.9% of posters are beyond happy with their sleeve.

For me i am very happy with my sleeve. Do You have any specific questions? I can tell you about my experience but keep in mind that everyone's experiences are different.

Love my sleeve! Best decision I've ever made for myself.

Not 1 single solitary regret. The first week was rough but it got easier with each passing week. I Could have NEVER lost this weight without surgery, believe me, I tried.

I'm still not at goal (18 months later) but I love the energy I have. I'm also happy to be off blood pressure med and the cpap machine. Losing weight has renewed my love of shopping.

My only challenge, which happens rarely, is waiting to drink. For the most part, I adjusted w/no problems.

Were you dehydrated the first few weeks? I am so nervous about the surgery. Everyday I'm hoping that I made the right decision to be sleeved.

@@thinnerS no wasn't dehydrated. The key is to keep your Water next to you and sip sip sip all day. Don't be nervous about the surgery it's not bad at all with the right surgeon. I was very nervous myself and pleasantly surprised that I was pain free. You'll do great and you'll love your sleeve!

I'm super happy with my decision to get sleeved. I'm almost 8 months out now and have had no complications. I wish you an equally smooth journey!

Thank you!!

Did you food cravings the first Few weeks when u did

The sleeve or you had no appetite? Because with the band I still felt like eating right when I came

Home from surgery.

Getting sleeved was the best thing I've ever done for my body. I'm almost 5 months out, have lost tons of weight, and I have no regrets about the sacrifice I've made in exchange for a longer healthier life of greater physical freedom. It does take courage, and it does change your life a lot, but this permanent tool has been a critical part of reclaiming my life, taking control, and permanently changing not only my body, but my mindset and habits.
