Hello I have been researching the sleeve just curious If anyone regrets the surgery due to complications??

Thanks !

Do I regret having the surgery, no way. I wish I didn't suffer from the complications that I did suffer through, but I have no regrets on having the VSG done. Honestly I probably could have benefited from doning it sooner (like while I was still in my 20's) when my doctor initially tried to get me to do surgery.

Losing the weight and feel/looking better was one thing. No longer being injectable insulin dependant was the main reason for my having the surgery. Anything that I could do to get my type 2 diabetes either removed or under better control was what I was after.

Thank you ! If you don't mind me asking what we're your complications? That's what I am most nervous about !

I regret getting the band and not going with the sleeve. I had band complications, but am only 1 week out on the sleeve. I lost 100 lbs with the band and all complications were band related, so I don't See having too many problems with the sleeve!
