No problems so far. I can't imagine something popping up all of a sudden. I have lost 29 pounds So far. I have absolutely no regrets what's so ever. 2 Ms skinniness and RAAinNH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted June 22, 2013 It depends on how you define a problem. Sure, I have slimed a lot, got acid reflux a couple times and thrown up a few times. But are these really problems? No!!! They are blips on the radar compared with radiant health, great strength and athletic ability the comes from living a life full of drive and passion as a post op. There is no goal that is too large. Consider the problems pre op I had before with morbid obesity: high blood pressure, prediabetic, mental issues, constant battle with food, lack of exercise, no self confidence and the list goes on and on. I have been problem free for the most part. I wish the best and quick recovery for those dealing with problems like leak, gall bladder issues, bad acid reflux and so on. 4 Ms skinniness, taurabird, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobheist 85 Posted June 22, 2013 I'm 6 months out and 145 lbs down. I've had a little Constipation -- otherwise, I haven't had any issues and I definitely have no regret (other than I wish I hadn't waited so long). 3 RAAinNH, ProudGrammy and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liteNsun 58 Posted June 22, 2013 Surgery was wednesday (two days ago), one overnight in hospital. Just one pain med pill in hospital. Walking at the beach 2 times todays. So far so GREAT! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseGrace 509 Posted June 22, 2013 I am guessing you mean zero surgical complications? I didn't have anything. Everyone has pain and things like that though. I am 6 months out right now, I haven't even thrown up due to my surgery. I did once because of a Migraine but that was it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballermom 803 Posted June 22, 2013 3 plus months out no problems at all. 1 bout of nausea early on brought my own cause. 54 pounds down. I don't tolerate greasy or sugary foods. That works out for me cause i don't need those anyhow. I have not been sick . I just sweat from sugar , i take it as reminder, no sugar and a caution! I got in this to eat healthy anyhow. From a 22/24 to a 14 I'm happy. No Regrets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takingcontrol 467 Posted June 22, 2013 6 mo out, surgery was a breeze....easiest surgery I've ever had! My only "problem" ( if you want to call it that) is occasional constipation...but I can now tell when I'm slowing down & take something, so that's an easy fix! Absolutely NO regrets, best thing I've ever done for myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfly_gal 151 Posted June 22, 2013 Can't say I have had any issues (thank god). I haven't even thrown up either. Down 64 pounds in 3 months. Had a pretty easy recovery. Only took the pain meds for a couple days post op to knock me out to sleep.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted June 22, 2013 No complications, nausea, vomiting, or regrets! All is good! 1 MrsPierre reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CocoCocoon 6 Posted June 22, 2013 My surgery was May 9th and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Almost no pain at all from the incisions, no vomiting or other digestive issues. I haven't had trouble with any particular foods either. At the hospital on the second day they only kept giving me apple juice which made me feel a bit sick to my stomach, but when I switched over to broth that problem resolved itself. That was the most trouble I've had. I have lost 25 lbs since the day of surgery so I am currently averaging 4 lbs lost per week. I'm very happy I had the surgery!

Geminidrive 389 Posted June 22, 2013 Thankfully I had Zero complications. No pain, no gas, no intolerances. 1 MrsPierre reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsPierre 67 Posted June 22, 2013 Waving hands here! I had gas that's it! I got nauseated twice. Once in the hospital the day of and here at home from too much liquid at once. Since, I feel great! I can eat w/o becoming nauseated and I have a good amount of restriction. I love my sleeve! I was banded before and maybe that's why? I have NO regrets except not getting sleeved sooner!!!!!
