Hello everyone,
I just got approved for a revised surgery from a band to a sleeve, April 27th is the big day (yea)
I have had the band for 5 years and haven't had fluid in it for a year. I felt like I was hungry and would eat too fast and then the food would get stuck.
So hear I go again with the sleeve surgery. I am 53 and have a high BMI (50)
Anyone had success with a high BMI and the sleeve?
My doctor really thought another surgery would work better but I really needed to be able to take nsaids for arthritis.
I have so many questions.
I am not so worried about the surgery are the recovery but with how do you feel when you are recovered?
Does the sleeve make you be able to eat less and not fell the hunger like I did with the band?
What are you eating on a average day?
Does your stomach feel like a normal stomach ?Does it feel like it felt before your surgery?
Anything you would like to share with me about your sleeve surgery. I would love to hear for you and your experience.
Thank you so much! :)
