Sleeve and future surgeries??

Has anyone dealt with other health issues after having the sleeve? I know I need neck and back surgery down the road. Also possible knee surgery. Wondering if pain meds will be an issue with a much smaller stomach etc

    Shouldn't be an issue at all, you'll be able to take pills just like always. :)

    It shouldn't be a problem - I have had orthopedic surgery (shoulders) both before and after my sleeve and they were pretty much the same. The RNY has more limitations on pain meds, NSAIDs in particular, but there are workarounds for that too.
