I was also not well aware of the type of gastric sleeve surgery until I have been with my friend for doctors consultation. There I come across that Gastric sleeve surgery varies from person to person. It is actually permanent weight loss surgery option that shrinks a patient’s stomach and helps them to lose weight.

Just to throw out a couple positives... Ghreline has been linked to memory and they are unsure of long term effects of that on a person. Maybe there will be none, maybe there will be some. Also my doctor says that neurosis of the stomach can be avoided if the suturing is done properly, he only knows of one in the states documented so far, and since then the suturing technique has been changed. I think there is good and bad to both. Plication is less invasive therefor lessening the chances of serious conditions relating from cutting out parts of the stomach. He also said that although we still produce the hunger hormone out stomachs are small so if we eat slow ( which we would to avoid tummy ache:)) then our stomach would send the "full" message to

Our brain quicker anyway. Anyway just a few tid bits seeings I've recently had plication. Nothin against sleeves though, my mom had the sleeve done and is now doing really well:)

So how are you doing now? I had the band surgery, and I am one of the unsuccessful ones :( so I'm thinking about what will be the next step for me. I didn't do a whole lot of research the first go round. I just knew what I wanted. I need to consider what is best for me moving forward. So please share your ongoing story.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
