Gatric sleeve
Yolanda, there are a couple of members of the board that come in and out every once in a while (their names escape me at the moment) that were either pre op or PO sleeve. A few of the members that frequent the roll call are patients of doctors that do the sleeve (my doctor and the Kane Cntr doctors).
Join us in the roll call when you feel comfortable.

Well, technically, I have the sleeve, as it is part of the duodenal switch. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/batlashes.gif)
I'll just give you something to think about...I can tell you that the restriction for me was great for the first two years and now, 3.5 years out, I can eat a fair amount, as the sleeve can stretch out a bit and you heal. The thing that is I have the malabsorption of the DS to back this up. That's been a godsend.
You may want to ask this on the VSG forum...
Best of luck to you!
