Sleave Complications?

I know this WLS operation is the new kid (sleave) on the block. Did anyone have any complications and how is life after surgery?

I had the sleeve on June 5th and have had no adverse effects. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and would do it again a hundred times over.

Hi there,
I am over a year out from Sleeve surgery, and I am now maintaining my weight - I was 238 and am now 135. I wear a small and a size 4. Amazing. I have had no complications since surgery. I followed my plan to the t - and I have had no issues. Best wishes to you.

I WAS SLEEVED 2/22/11 AND HAD NO COMPLICATIONS - I HAVE LOST CONSISTENTLY AND STILL HAVE A FEW MORE POUNDS TO GO. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF NECESSARY. I WISH YOU WELL IN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY.
