Interested to know how you are feeling today after being sleeved so long ago.

It's funny ... those who have been sleeved 4+ years don't really hang out here. This site isn't old enough where they were coming here looking for support. My guess is they don't even know we exist here. So, to find a 5+ person ...

Not to say they don't exist, but even the 3+ sleevers are rare to find here, but there are a couple.

FWIW, I'm coming up on 2 years and doing great. Only regret is not being a 5+ sleever!

Thanks for the reply! Glad you're doing great my surgery is scheduled for the third week of April and I'm just so curious to speak to someone who's been sleeved for a while. I started getting all these crazy thoughts in my head thinking maybe their lives don't turn out to be too healthy a few years after the surgery.. That's just me being scared and negative!

I think that is just the thing. I can't speak for everyone, but my guess is their lives turn out so great they don't really need a support network ... that is why so many drop off here after some time.

Keep reading and asking questions. PM me if there is a question you don't feel comfortable posting publicly.

She is an awesome member, for sure. Was a huge help when I first landed here.

I am only 14 months out, sorry - but feel free to ask away if you have questions.

the questions you ask may be accessable through other research - remember this surgery is done for many, many reasons (I myself did not finally agree to the surgery until they found a tumor in my stomach).

Makes sense! I guess I just need to focus on the positive results and stop worrying about every possibility that something bad may happen. Many thanks, will definitely get in touch - appreciate it

I had to attend a psychiatry session today to be prepped for the surgery and the doctor did tell me that this procedure was always performed for other health reasons than weight loss - did make me feel better when I heard that. Glad you're doing great thanks!
