My doctor says the difference is the amount of time on clear liquids. Sleevers need to stay on them a few days more just to make sure the stomach has more time to heal. Like they say each doctor is different but I had to be on clear liquids 10 days

Well, I can't speak to immediately following surgery, but I can speak to 10+ months out.

My RNY friends grazed a lot more than me when they were several months out.  They didn't eat much at a time, but still ate a lot of calories.  They didn't have to develop healthy habits to lose weight initially.  Unfortunately, I only know one person 3+ years out from the RNY who has kept most of their weight off :(

I feel that the nature of the VSG has helped me to develop healthier eating habits that I can stick to for the rest of my life.
