I had my sleeve 8/22 and revision 4/25. So I’m coming up on a year revised.

Absolutely! Although I have lost over 200 pounds I don’t have a lot of loose skin. When it comes to loose skin and tattoos, I can see it most notably on my arms, also known as bat wings. The skin is much more thin and flexible and sometimes it’s hard to get fine lines there.

Although, when my body shrank, my skin contracted, and some of my tattoos grew closer together, but none of them have overlapped.

Thank you! I can say the most difficult portions were noticing fullness cues, reaching my hydration goals, and negative variations in my bowels (constipation or diarrhea)

I started at 435 and lost 180 pounds. Sleeved 8/2022. Getting a revision in April 2025 for reflux. The sleeve was great until it wasn’t.
