I had my surgery sept. 11 .. I had zero problems or complications. The only thang I find hard is to want to eat in general. Which has nothing to with the surgery. I was scared to death to have the surgery, but I have a condition called intercranial hypertension that's cause my brain to herniate into my spine. I did the sleeve cause my Nuero surgeon told me too. I can honestly say thou that it is by far one of the best thangs I have ever done for myself and am so glad I did it .
