Endoscopic Sleeve experiences and tips?

[ma08 7]

The endoscopic sleeve is a newer procedure therefore there isn't a great deal of information nor are there groups discussing it. I have mine scheduled for September 2016 and am hoping to speak with those of you who will be getting one and who have already had it done. Thank you!

Had the sleeve. Best part you can still eat. food is a part of every family event in my life. I can still eat .......just very small portions. Bad news is some foods will cause problems.....but not violent reactions. No dumping syndrome, no puking, etc. You will find some foods will be a problem going down. I find rice, some bread products and dry meat, especially if reheated will not go down they get stuck and your stomach will produce a mucus to push it back up. After that happens you will not eat it again unless you add a sauce which moisten it. You will eat small portions and lose weight. 10/15 was my surgery and I am down 100lbs.

Thank you very much Debp1953!

As mentioned there are not a lot of people discussing this procedure therefore I do appreciate your response.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:

How did you find the procedure itself?

Did you do a similar post procedure diet compared to the VSG?

Reading the posts here, did you have similar experiences to those here who had the VSG?

Thanks again and congratulations on the 100lbs loss! Amazing and inspiring!
