    Hello! I just had sleeve done on 1/11/24. They say support and community is a big part of being successful with this.

    Support and community are a great help. However, I doubt you’ll find it in a post from 2011. Maybe start a new thread and see who’s around these days?

    I had a lap band done in 2012 and in 2021 had it removed because it had literally eaten into my stomach wall. I had to heal up waiting to get sleeved. I gained 60lbs in 6 months. Had the sleeve done in April of 22 so coming up on 2 years. I’m currently gaining weight. I’m sure I’ve stretched my stomach because I can basically eat anything now. Just a warning to y’all because it really takes commitment to keep your tool working for you. I’m recommitting to trying to reduce food intake and shrink my stomach back. I hope I have not damaged things in there. Just keeping it real!
