Anyone have the gastric sleeve procedure.
Didn't know where to put this, and I know it's kind of "taboo" on these sites. Just wondering, seems to be something a lot of my coworkers are having done. Like I said I'm just looking for input pros cons from people who's had this particular procedure. The sleeve

Hey there
I've had this done and I'm 7 weeks post op. 20kg lost and no regets at all. Do you have any specific questions?0 -
Woops didn't read your post properly....
Pros is that it is the full stop for me. My portions were big pre op as I liked to feel satisfied bit I can only eat a max of 1/4 to 1/2 a cup at meals now and don't have any desire to eat more. It's removed my unhealthy relationship with good which I needed.
Cons nothing specific thus far. Only thing I sometimes struggle with is getting everything in I need to in a day ie my water and food requirements0 -
How about energy level? Any complications?0

I had it done about three years ago. I plateaued pretty quickly. at 60 lbs done. Weight has been creeping back on. Still no regrets but it is not a magic pill either. My portions are way smaller, but even with regular exercise and watching what I eat, I am not able to loose more. What I have noticed is that if I am not careful the pounds sneak back on.0

I just find that amazing. Smaller portions and gaining the weight.0

I had my surgery December 2014. I'm down 130# and still losing to goal. You have to remember smaller stomach ("pouch") is just a tool for weight loss. If you graze through the day on high calorie foods you will gain. That being said it was the best decision. Saved my life! And I am rarely hungry.0

Great info. I will be having the procedure done in a couple of months. I still have to go through a lot of steps before the operation. Thanks.0
