  1. Hi Nana_kat, I am Beth, my grandkids also call me Nana, I was wondering if you have any regrets of doing the sleeve surgery? I am just starting the process of going to the appointments to prepare. I have not been to the first appt yet. I have spoken to one other person that went through this but she was younger. How old were you when you had the sleeve and did you have any complications?

      Hi! Nice to meet another Nana! I had my surgery in Dec 2016 and have not regretted a moment of it. Prior to my sleeve, I had the lap band and hated every moment of it. I haven't had any issues with gerd, dumping or vitamin deficiency, either. Just make sure you follow all your surgeon and dietitian's instructions and you'll be fine. Please feel free to ask any questions you think of in the future.

      Can you have an occasional piece of something sweet? Or alcohol?

    3 months after VSG

    Thanks! I didn't think about that. I had the lapband in 2007 and lost 72 pounds and then gained back 20 of it. I revised to VSG because my band was no longer working for me, was either too tight or not enough restriction. Without VSG I would never have gotten below 200! It's still a journey but I can see the end of the tunnel now!
  3. Happy 61st Birthday nana_kat!
