Hi all! Im thinking about having the sleeve done. Ive done reserch and my doc says im a canadate and will help with whatever i need.....i guess i want to know from real people the good and the bad.

Can i ask why sleevers have to drink protien powders? Do they aid in weight loss/ keep you from gettig hypoglycemia? Are they safe? Im confused..

Whats the dealwith this?? Does this prevent hypoglycemia? Is it safe?

Thanks :-) did u have to drink it b4 surgery? Also im afraid of drinking only that then getting hypoglycemic. Does the protien help with that? Were u still hungry?

Thank you both! :-) do they keep you full before surgery?

Did you have any complications? What was your experience there?

thank you Linda S! :-) also, Linda S and elyod59 how did you like it there? would you reccomend the surgeon/care you recieved?? how long of a stay was it for you, and how much time off from work did you have to take??

Thank you so much!!! Im reserching now...and i cant spell lol! Thats y im here. Ive seen web sites that say there is dumping with sleeve and there is not.....i dont know. All i know for sure is im sick of my knees feet hips and back aching all the time. Im sick of being treated different because im fat. Im sick of eating and in a half hour being hungry again. How long does it take one to get back to being able to eating normal? And can you have carbonation? Im leaning tward the sleeve.

Smilingrl2012 where did u have it done? What was it like? Details dish girl dish! Lol

No....im thinking about it.....did u? I was wondering if anyone could reccomend surgeons

Hannah55 did you have it done?

Im in the thumb...harbor beach. Where are you?

Also what if i go thru it for nothing??? Again i know someone who had gastric bypass and is the size i am now. She lost a bunch and then gained it all back as het stomach streched....that is scary. I dnt have my gallbladdrr. Im in michigan if ne one else is id be glad to hear of surgeons??

Thank you!! So u do have to take pills? Thats the real stuff i need to know. Im so sick of hurting. All the time. What type of pills do u have to take? Im so afraid because its permanent and what if it doesnt work and i have to have the bypass. I know enough to know i dont want that. And do u have to drink protien shots all day? A lady i used to work with who had the bypas had to. And what do u do to keep blood sugar from falling/getting hypoglycemia? Ive farted around reading thteads and theyr sooooo super helpfull. I commend you all for being so brave <3
