Sleeve

BSWhip08 · November 3, 2016

Hi All,

I am just curious who the oldest sleever is on here, meaning how far out are you? How long have you had your sleeve?

Scheduled for next week and feeling anxious.... had the band 10 years ago and now on to this.

I should stop reading on here, some of the negative side effects like strictures are making me nervous.

Im a newbie 8 mo out. What i can say about getting sleeved is that i truly feel as if i had a brain transplant along with sleeve. From what i gather is that part of stomach removed is the part that creates a hunger hormone. Now all gone....i have no hunger. I don't crave.

My surgeon told me strictures are quite rare. Still, I understand your fears...I'm still pre-op and sometimes think of all the possible complications, but I figure I'm already having complications from being fat and diabetic with high blood pressure, so I'm thinking the surgery is worth the risk for me.
