    Welcome. It seems you weren't expecting the sleeve but now you have it you can make it work for you. Since my op nearly a year sgo I have lost nealry 10 and a half stone, 85% of my excess weight and I am still losing. As many on here say I love my sleeve and the new life it has given me.

    Welcome, I'm a newbie as well! I also had complications and had a sleeve instead of gastric bypass. Love my sleeve and have lost 32lbs since May 21st.
