I’m concidering getting a sleeve. Are you guys happy with your choice?

Incredibly happy:) Wish I'd done it years ago.

After wife and kids best decision I’ve ever taken it’s a life changer for the best

Extremely so far

so very happy. at 10 months post op all the downside is way behind me and only the good parts are left to enjoy

Can you explain some of the downsides you had in the beginning?

I'm only 2 months and 8 days out, but I'm so happy I went through with it. I came home without diabetic meds and I have more energy now. It's a pain figuring out what I can eat now, but nothing worth having comes easy. I'm on track with what I'm supposed to be losing. I'm 5'2 and I weighed 230. I'm now below 198 (I haven't weighed at my Dr in a few weeks so I don't know the actual number)

Yes.

I'm not quite 3 months out yet, but yes, I'm very happy so far!

I am 2.5 months out and feel 100% normal, except my portions are smaller. I can eat what I want, although I am choosing to eat healthy. I have had a few treats here and there, but always hit my protein and water goals. I am also back in the gym, 4-5 days a week. My only complaint was a long stall, but I think I needed to increase my calories. Once I started eating 900-1000 calories, especially when working out, I started losing again.

I'm 1 year out. I am literally HALF of myself! And other weight I didn't need, but that's another story [emoji19]. I'd do it again 100x over!

30 hours post-op and I don't regret it. The gas pains are very painful yet if you walk it goes away. I love it. I can't wait for the weight to melt off.

One way I know I'm full is when I get hiccups. It's crazy, but my husband laughs about it and it makes me laugh.

I'm 2 months post op as of today, down 55.5 pounds. I am SO happy I did this. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! It has been a life changing experience, all for the better. You asked about downsides early on: The day after surgery, it was an effort to stay hydrated. I was very glad to graduate to full liquids after clear liquids the first week. Then I was very glad to graduate to pureed foods after being on full liquids due to more variety. Now I eat normal food, but very small portions. It's amazing to lose weight fast without feeling hungry! I REALLY wanted to be a healthy weight and considered the restrictions on what I could eat well worth it. I am almost half way to goal and feel like a new woman.

7 1/2 years since surgery and I'm still a size 6. This surgery is amazing.

I am almost 5 weeks out. I don’t regret it but the recovery is hard for me. It is difficult to eat and my stomach is very sensitive. I have problems getting my fluids in and had an IV to get fluids a few times. I don’t want to scare you, but you should prepare yourself for a recovery that can be not so smooth. I know that it will get better and it is better compared to a day after the surgery BUT it is not easy (at least for me).
