Men that had sleeve



Recommended Posts

I had sleeve 10 days ago and doing great. My husband is having sleeve today doctor said men have harder time. Just wondering if any men have any problems?

Not at all...4 weeks today and down 30 lbs since surgery. Cravings are limited and are easily silenced by Protein. If he's talking about vigor of workouts or lifting...then maybe, especially in the early going, where those activities are generally off-limits. But even that should resolve quickly. I am starting to worry about muscle loss, but will be going back to the Iron today to put an end to that.

My husband and I were both sleeved last year on September 11. We both had an incredibly easy time of it. He has had a very slight bit of acid reflux that he didn't have before, but other than that, it's been wonderful.

Everyone is the same in that we are all different. Maybe he was telling you that as sort of a joke, men are well known for being medical wimps ;-)

Thanks everyone .. I talked to doctor he said he meant men's organs larger and makes surgery little more difficult .

He is doing well waiting on a room.

Praise to God I've had 0 nausea. Having trouble getting all Water & Protein in. But doing great for 10 days out

I was sleeved on 9/1 and just got out of the hospital today. So far so good. Had some discomfort from gas, but otherwise things went pretty smoothly. Its unbelievable how little Fluid it takes to feel full.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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