Had gastric sleeve surgery on June 2016. I wish I never had it. Had so many complications with my stomach since. The guy that did my surgery no longer does surgeries anymore. He got paid from my surgery and skipped town. I still have to eat very soft foods and it drink liquids. I have had test and tests done. Tried so many different medicines.

Anyone else have a Sleeve or Other weight loss surgery nightmares?

    Yep!me! Have lost 30kg. No longer on insulin. Chronic renal failure improved. Can eat and drink anything. Hasn’t made any difference to my PMR but that’s ok! It sure helped with the steroid induced weight gain and chipmunk cheeks! It was the best thing I could have done for myslef! Loving sized 10/12 clothes too! Guess you were one of the tiny percentage that didn’t do so well. I’m in Australia..where are you? Are you on any support groups. These help.

    You are in the wrong place here - this is a forum specifically for an autoimmune vasculitis called polymyalgia rheumatica/giant cell arteritis. There may be one of two people but I think Buffy is the only one I have come across in nearly 9 years on the forum!
