Agreed, my Mrs is a real foodie. Loves cooking, loves eating (hence her problem in the first place). She was concerned at first, but she hasn't regretted it either.

As others have said, the sleeve op, as opposed to the band op, allows you to eat anything you ate before, just a lot less. When we go out for meals now, we'll either share a main (great as it makes me eat less too - you'll be surprised how little you actually need to maintain a full and healthy lifestyle), or she'll get a starter as a main, or just not eat it all, or take goodie bags home.

There hasn't been a single downside of it yet that we can see. In some people, depending on how big they were before and how elastic their skin is, can leave some excess skin, which can cost a lot to get rid of if it bothers you. The surgeon can run though all this with you though.
