Hi how long do you sleevers take to eat your meals I was told 30/40 mins each meal ,how do you do that make a tiny portion last that long and what happens if you don't 😄

Hi Karen nice to hear from you 😃 there are a couple of us on here lol I'm pre op sleeve been told around October time yikes how far out are you all going good for you since ? Xx

Thanks everyone I'm a fast eater and this is going to be a challenge for me to eat so slow and fact it will be cold

Hi Tara I think that is a fantastic idea ,I have just sent you a WhatsApp 😄 xx

Hi forgot to say I'm Surrey , and ask what protein drinks do you buy and from were 😃

I've been searching for people from the UK I've finally on the wAiting list for sleeve after 1.5 years of education sessions and appointments got told I could be done in October ,how have u all found it I'm nervous about GERD long term Barrett's issues and I really want my type 2 diabetic to sort it self out after op I just hope I don't regret doing sleeve for these reasons ,any long termers here have u done well maintaining your loss ? Xxx

Hi I've just found out I'm finally on waiting list and should be getting sleeved around October time , I am very nervous I've never had surgery before ,also surgeon wanted me to have bypass because I'm type 2 diabetic but I'm hoping I will still get good results with sleeve ? Any one had sleeve long term have you managed to maintain weight loss and keep diebetics at bay ? And then theres the GERD / acid issues please tell me it doesn't happen to everyone ,also what is the average weight losses with sleevers I'm currently about 17 stone size 18 wondering what I would average out at I know it differs slightly but just a rough idea xx p.s I'm UK and UK buddies about. 😃

Thank you everyone for your lovely messages fingers crossed I beat the diebetics my main hope and that I avoid the GERD 😙

Thank you would be lovely to keep in contact I'm still learning how to use this site can we private message may be add each other via email or messanger or something 😄

Any body in UK had bypass I'm pre op would love to hear experiences from op onwards how's it been for you ? Im very nervous never had an op and worry about long term life about malabsorption ,complications ect

Interesting read thought would share. https://www.generalsurgerynews.com/The-Great-Debates/Article/03-18/Gastric-Bypass-or-Sleeve-Gastrectomy-/47027

Hi any of you had sleeve and resolved your type 2 and how far out pls 😀

That's so good to hear thank you all , how about gerd acid worried about Barrett's is it common do u suffer since sleeves ?

Any UK people , I'm undecided on sleeve or bypass got pre op April I'm so scared of making wrong choice , my heart says go with sleeve but the gerd I've heard can be very bad , I like that my insides will work the same but stomach will be smaller and I hope I can control maintain ok long term ,issue is I'm type 2 deibetic so bypass is what they suggest but bypass scares me more dumping , malnutrition,bowel blockages and just the fact my insides are changed and work differently , looking for experiences pros cons your choices how it's all going etc many thanks x

Thank you how is the gerd acid reflux do you have it , I've just read about barretts and now I'm worrying again

You look great I'm very anxious at the moment I can't decide which surgery to have I want sleeve but I worry I've heard gerd can be awful and I hope to maintain but worry I will put back on down the line ,also I'm type 2 deibetic so bypass is recommended but that scares me more with changing how my body works inside the dumping malnutrition bowl blockage etc my pre op is April need to decide soon 😑
