Who is happy with there sleeve? Can you please give me details and encouragement? I am revising from lap band to sleeve in 7 days and I need to know what to expect?

[Sophie74656 1,572]

From what I've seen here 99.9% of posters are beyond happy with their sleeve.

For me i am very happy with my sleeve. Do You have any specific questions? I can tell you about my experience but keep in mind that everyone's experiences are different.

Love my sleeve! Best decision I've ever made for myself.

Not 1 single solitary regret. The first week was rough but it got easier with each passing week. I Could have NEVER lost this weight without surgery, believe me, I tried.

I'm still not at goal (18 months later) but I love the energy I have. I'm also happy to be off blood pressure med and the cpap machine. Losing weight has renewed my love of shopping.

My only challenge, which happens rarely, is waiting to drink. For the most part, I adjusted w/no problems.

Were you dehydrated the first few weeks? I am so nervous about the surgery. Everyday I'm hoping that I made the right decision to be sleeved.

@@thinnerS no wasn't dehydrated. The key is to keep your Water next to you and sip sip sip all day. Don't be nervous about the surgery it's not bad at all with the right surgeon. I was very nervous myself and pleasantly surprised that I was pain free. You'll do great and you'll love your sleeve!

Nope. No skin removal whatsoever. I got very lucky. Also, I work very hard in the gym, which helps
