Anyone with a sleeve



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had a sleeve longer than 2 years here? If so have you gained weight back like with band?? Do you have complication like we have with the band. Just trying to make up mine on if I want the sleeve once my band is removed.

I've had mine for over two years. The only complications I've had were self inflicted. I was eating to fast, to much, and not chewing enough. Don't do that you throw up a lot and have major stomach aches. I haven't gained any weight back. I'm actually still slowly losing weight.

I'm about 20 days short of the 2 year mark. I don't have any complications other than that I can't really eat fats, milks, or oils without getting sick, so other than barfing a lot when I make bad food decisions, I've had no issues. I fluctuate about 3-4 pounds but I've been under goal for about 5 months and haven't had a super hard time maintaining.

I will be 4 years from my band to sleeve revision at end of this year. I have done well, small regain but still very close to goal. No complications.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
