Questions For Long Time Post Sleevers

[Cholula 8]

I posted this as another thread before i found this board, hope the repeat is ok.

Okay, here's my story. about 4.5 months ago, i found myself at the crossroads,asking my Dr about surgery. she put in the request and I was approved and started the process through Kaiser in South San Francisco.

At that point I got serious and started using Lose It! and working out, walking, swimming and going to the gym. My starting weight was 255.1 with a hoped for weight loss of 100 pounds. Since then ( June 13) I've lost 49 pounds. I met with one Dr, wasn't crazy about him and asked for another. I have an appt with Dr David Le tomorrow morning.

I know I could have had the surgery already but feeling good about my surgeon is a big deal for me.

Since then, I've been following a group of post op people, but most seem to be the other kinds of surgery (distal, RYN, whatever). They all seem to have a lot of problems with absorption and getting enough Vitamins in.

Unfortunately there don't seem to be a lot of Sleevers on there.

S my question is this, is there somewhere that post op Sleevers post with any long term conditions as a result of their surgeries?

I,m doing quite well without the surgery but my concern is putting the weight back on. After all, I've lost before, and gained it all back.

Any thoughts?
