Hello, I am in the process of getting things going to have this surgery, I have a friend who had the lap band surgery and he is always sick, always throwing up and having issues with his stomach. I am just curious how much of a life style change is it having the sleeve. what has steered me away from doing this in the past is basically seeing my friend in constant turmoil from the lapband.

Thank you.

well everyone is different. My initial thought is that your friend might not be eating properly which is leading to him being sick.

Of course the sleeve, or any weight loss surgery will require a lifestyle change. You will have to eat healthy and follow a diet that your surgeon and nutritionist will give you. Surgery is a commitment to change your life to be healthier.

This pretty much sums it up. If it makes any difference in your comfort level, I have had both a lap band and now a sleeve. The band was way worse for discomfort in my opinion.

The rare person ends up with that kind of trouble with the sleeve. Most people are much more comfortable than that. Personally I am as comfortable as I was preop, I just get full sooner. There are foods that don't agree with me, but it isn't a big deal. I just experiment with what works and what doesn't.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
