Questions about the sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello, My name is Jamiea. I am actually in the process of scheduling a surgery date. I have done my research found a Great surgeon. But i have something that worries me, I know at least 3 different people that have been sleeved. They lost the weight which is great but it seems like one of them lost to much weight to the point of her looking sick. I really don't want this to happen to me. Did she do something wrong are does that just happen sometimes?

Your Surgeon's office will give you information on risks. They will also monitor your weight loss. Losing too much weight is rare.

You would have to ask the person who looked "sick" if they had complications or health issues.

Betcha that lady had other things going on. I could understand being,a little pale, we're, in the Northern Hemisphere it's winter and a lot,of us aren't getting much sunlight. Tired, well you're recovering from major surgery, a great stressor on your body. I'll probably will have both of these but I intend to have a big sh**eating grin on my face and,i bet nobody will notice those 2 things. Looking forward to the day my boxer waist,pants fall down to the floor. And I'll wear t-shirts without visible globs and lumps,showing above and below my bra line. Shoot I might even get some new bras to,replace the tired stretched out ones I have now. I'm going to be strong and fit enough to compete in the Senior Olympics if not the regular one. Maybe they were treating that super thin lady for anorexia but I'm willing to bet she's not a post-sleever.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
