Congratulations! I think that we are all on a similar journey, regardless of the particular procedure.
The thing that scares me the most with the sleeve is long term acid problems. It isn't talked about much, but there are studies that show people having increasing problems over time (like 3 years out).
My doc insists that I take lots of vitamins, even with the sleeve. I know he is being conservative since I am eating so little it is hard to get all my nutrients, but for me that is the worst thing about this- all these pills!
Because I was a band to sleeve revision, and the doc was being extra careful I had TWO DRAINS! Removing those was pretty painful!
Anyway, no matter what procedure you chose - there are plusses and minuses. I am very happy so far with the sleeve, but only time will tell....
