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.
