I'm 5 months out as of yesterday from my sleeve to MGB, so far so good, about 10 lbs from goal but honestly I haven't tried at all to lose and have been guilty of letting the surgery do all the work. I am very active though and I do run a few times a week and average at least 10k steps per day. I would be happy to answer questions if you have any. Good luck to you!
Long term I don't know the difference but I had my mini gastric bypass done in 2007 and and over this time period I've never gained one pound of my weight back. If I just stopped eating healthy my weight just stayed the same when I went back to healthy eating and exercise I dropped weight again. I've been at my goal weight for quite some time now and my weight usually fluctuates between 5 pounds during the month account of my female cycle. I know a lot of people that have had other procedures and gained back weight. I was very happy I chose the MGB.
It's now been 4 years, and 0 regain!!
Still at my goal weight and going strong :)
I know this is an old thread but felt appropriate to update on this one :)

Looking to fly to mexico in august, what surgeon is the best for the gastric sleeve??
I had a revision to MGB on 4/23. Recovery was rough but only because I ended up dehydrated and also got pneumonia in both lungs. I'll be 6 weeks on Thursday and I'm doing great now ! Iv lost 22 lbs so it's slow going but that okay, I'm only 20/25 lbs from my goal weight now. Iv heard good things about Oritz, I had a great experience with Rodriguez for the most part. He is more expensive though but I stayed the whole time in the hospital.
