Unfortunately this seems a last resort for many who are unable to resolve their relationship with food but it can cause some serious mental health issues in itself when you enjoy food and realise the reality of no (or minimal) stomach.
Most peoples results from a gastric sleeve are amazing and it’s good they’re honest about having it. Must admit I’ve been tempted a lot lately as just would love to shrink my stomach and not feel the need to keep eating!
Sadly I think it is becoming a first resort for many people... It used to be for morbidly obese but I know of a few who yes, struggled with excess weight but also never really tried to lose via sustained diet/exercise.
A close relative had surgery last year, dropped 6-7 stone in as many months & never felt a bit deprived due to zero appetite! Hardest part was first few months making sure they kept up the protein/nutrient quota as they were barely hungry and any minor negative effects were outweighed by the elation of rapid weight loss.
Nowadays, they can a eat a bit more but still moderate amounts and are planning their skin removal surgery. Never looked back! I think more people sharing these kind of success stories encourages others, so in general, it has become more popular.
I follow Scarlett Black on tiktok who had a gastric sleeve and looks incredible. She is very open about her struggles with her weight, her binge eating disorder and the poor relationship she had with food.
She has lost an insane amount of weight but eats well and works hard at the gym. She is still very open about days when she struggles and wants to binge etc which makes her more relatable.

Thank it really helpful to know thank you as I only hear the negative stories.
My friend had a sleeve and it was a big success, looks great. She still eats everything, just really small amounts but it wouldn’t be for me in all honesty
I see more negative than postive
but that’s because I deal with all the post surgical complications where I work 
I've noticed this. I've seen so many on tiktok about to get a sleeve or bypass when they're around 15 stone
She looks insaaaaanely good. I like her 'what I eat in a day' posts too. As someone who goes to the gym and is trying to lose weight she posts content that I enjoy! Her surgeon is fantastic too, even her tattoos look perfect!
Jesus wept, I could never have WLS, I live for food. Just the thought of having a tiny Chinese brings me to tears.
Someone I worked with many years ago had a gastric operation and they lost a lot of weight but they gained 4 stone after year two and then gained over 5 stone more than their starting weight. It does depend on the individual. Big Ben to slim Ben was an obvious surgery case as you could see and he has regained a considerable amount it seems
My friend had WLS & is now anorexic. She's been a psychiatric inpatient for 3 months now 
I wanted sleeve surgery for a while but i worry about the long term damages. Apparently you lack certain vitamins forever and hair loss etc, let alone not being and to eat proper food forever.
It seems a lot of people don’t want to put the hard work in now (me included!) and sleeve surgery seems to be the quicker option, even though I imagine it’s harder than it looks.
im back at SW online with no tit substitutes and im losing every week, slow and steady and all that. No fake pimms or cous cous cakes over here

Was it confirmed he had surgery? I was never convinced
I'm much healthier when I'm on sw, I tend to eat more fruit & veg & cook more from scratch
I agree that it does make you cook more from fresh.
But on the other hand, the labelling foods good and bad and synning things ect outweighs that for me.
I’ve lost over 5 stone with slimming world and my day to day eating is night and day compared to what it used to be. I do agree with the points made by others about the on plan/off plan mentality. As soon as I say I’m having an off plan day I go wild. I don’t do all the tweaks though. I’d rather use some syns to make a dish as close to the real thing as possible than eat weird concoctions just so I have enough left for a freddo after dinner
. For me it’s about having the structure and meal planning/cooking from scratch has turned my eating habits around (in the most part).
I am ex sw, did it with friends as I was a bridesmaid, lost nearly 3 stone, all came back plus another 3. Really messed with my eating habits with the whole on/off plan it was very much all or nothing, ended up going to Turkey last year for wls and now 6 stone down and never looked back! Best thing I’ve ever done for myself
