Thinking about getting gastric sleeve can you ladies comment some of your pros & cons.( I know everyone’s journey is different)

Pro's - I am no longer disabled, diabetic or have high blood pressure or lymphoedema. I have become a ultra confident person instead of a house mouse. I am all the things that I always want to be

The only con that I can think of is my saggy skin but hey ho, I live in the UK. Its usually wet and cold and when wrapped up in clothes, I look great

Everyone is different.

Pro

Why don't you enjoy food ? I may only eat small amounts but I delight in each mouthful. These days I choose quality over quantity.

And why are you constantly sick ? Are you taking nausea medications, eating slowly, not overeating, gained a food allergy. This forum may be able to help you with this

I would like to know as well,, thinking of removal of Band and going with sleeve.

I don’t enjoy food, good question. Took me two years to learn not to over eat. We know what happens when we over eat. I eat small amounts thru out the day 3/4 a cup 4 times a day at max. Now I wake ip in the middle of the nite eating Quality food . It either comes up or goes out in unpleasant ways. The odd thing is. one week I’m starving.I can’t seem to fuel my body. The next week I have no appetite it’s been one hell of a roller coaster ride. Thanks for pointing out allergies many would’ve thought that. Im good . nausea medication any suggestions over the counter? Besides that, going out with friends and eating is embarrassing. You take three bites done in 5 minutes. Mean time people are conversating and eating for an hour. I miss the days of indulgent .

I am sorry my nausea meds are from the doctor. They are called Lansoprazole in the UK. My eating out has got better, today at lunch I had breaded fish with fries and peas. I only ate the inside of the fish. My friends are now used to seeing me leaving food. I had a wonderful day out. I wish you could too
