Just make sure if you go ahead with the sleeve that you are comfortable and able to have a second operation, a DS or Bypass. The reason is due to the Ghrelin hormone being removed by the sleeve procedure which causes u tool have no sense of hunger, however our bodie adapt and the Grehlin comes back which means you will feel hunger again. For me it was the 2 year mark, started to feel so hungry and sure enough my Grehlin levels when tested were back in the normal range. Now, I'm looking at another procedure

Reply From Nikki:

Wow I wasn't aware that the hormones for hunger would/could potentially come back! Huh....I know I don't want multiple procedures (I hate the idea of going under for any reason, but I can buck up when I have to). I'm going to go with the band. Like you said earlier there isn't one long term 5 year study that demonstrates good results...

But, here's the thing.  Some of us can get through this.  I do not expect, nor would I, resort to the RnY or DS.  I am happy with my VSG and, with hard work (which is pretty much the standard for any surgery), I will not need a second procedure.
