Does anyone regret getting the sleeve? I'm trying to take everything into consideration before I go for my consult.

Have any of you that have had sleeve surgery found that your cravings for sugar are gone or less? I'm going to be going for my surgical consult on the 6th of November and I'm trying to get as much information as possible before I go.

My provider recommended the sleeve about a year and a half ago and when I broached the subject on it, my husband was angry I'd even think about it and said a moderated diet and Crossfit (or insert whatever exercise here) is the only way to loose weight
