I had the sleeve on 8/13/13. Almost from the beginning, I have not had the intake restrictions that most people do. Have told my surgeon numerous times, but only focus on those conversations were how many nuts I was eating every day (none). I have lost about 30 pounds since my surgery. It's very depressing and sit here today reflecting on everything I thought would happen and be so wonderful and where I should be 1 year after surgery and I've accomplished nothing. I have mal-absorption issues with the Vitamins, I've become Anemic and already Diabetic and they blame these issues on the lack of weight loss. I don't where to turn now for help.
