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.

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!

Nope. No skin removal whatsoever. I got very lucky. Also, I work very hard in the gym, which helps :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
