I have found out im a cheap drunk now! I used to drink anything i wanted and never got really wobbly headed. Now one shot and im on the couch waitng for the room to stop spinning... I like it...!

Yes your age probably has everything to do with it... I had no problems up untill i hit 35 then i started to notice that i had waining intrest in my wife's attention. I went on for about 2 years then i hit 40, and the bottom fell out out the bucket. I went to the doctor and learned that my t level was 120. Way low for a forty year old... shots cured me. My levels have been as high as 1000 and i have never felt aggressive or hostile ever. I always feel alot more confident when taking it and it takes about a second to get me intrested in sex with my wife, i think it's the best thing since sliced bread...

I'm having the same response here, I have lost more than 70lbs and the response from my wife has been extreamly positive... I likey!!!

You go girls, I hope it affects ya'll like us because, i have turned 180 from what I used to feel.. I was tired and unintrested but not now...Very intrested...

yes I do and I smoke about 2 - 6 per month... Not alot but i do enjoy them with a nice glass of adult beverage...

Your getting a great jump on this journey, I wish i would have had this surgery about 15 years ago when i was 30... I would have never reached 485lbs and ruined my knees, back, hips and general health.. good luck to you...

I was a type II diabetic taking 500mg of Metformin(morning) and 18mg shot of victoza(evening) a day I di not take any meds to the hospital on june 29th for my surgery... I also have not taken any since the surgery.... off all blood pressure and high colesterol meds....

I had severe sleep apnea before my surgey (480 lbs) I would have over 100 apena's per hour.. Now I weigh 322.5 lbs and I had to be switched to an auto titrating machine becuase my apnea is decreasing so fast they can not keep up with it. I was 136 on the disruptive sleep scale, now i am a 26.. 20 is normal i hope to be off the machine by 2012. My first pressure setting was 16, now it's 4.2 the machine only goes to 3.... As soon as you start losing weight they are going to have to change the pressure settings on your machine so make sure they give you an auto titrating machine in the first place.... Good luck on your journey it is worth every PITA....

The will weigh your plate for you and let you eat from the Buffet. @ 3.99 a Lb. last time I ate it cast me $1.19 + $.99 for mt meal and iced tea to go for later after my 30-1 hour wait... I love my sleeve and i have no problem telling any body about it. If they ask i tell them i have been set free by my WLS surgery....

This happened with me also! The pad is shrinking and I have atleast and extra 2-1/2" to 3 " of exposure in the flaccid state and the other state is doing well also it has been a great side benefit....

Hey we have Bikes, Blues & BBQ here in north west Arkansas this week I am riding the 75 miles north tomorrow morning... Have a great riding weekend!!!

Cheese scambled eggs! were a savings grace for me!!! When i was able to eat eggs I was all better. The protein in the eggs just pushed me right along.. Good luck!

you will do fine, I am 43 YO and also weighed in around your weight before surgery. I have had a great experience(see signature) and I bet you will also.. Good luck !

Hey there, my names Jim.. I am 3 months out was 389.7 lbs at surgery now I am firmly at 326.4 lbs. I love my sleeve it has freed me from the ball and chain of food.... Good luck with your journey

Streched skin will not ever shrink back into position. It's like the elastic that has been worm out in an old pair of under wear, when its gone its gone. Now, you can fill the bagging parts with bigger muscles and reduce the look of the sagging skin ,but it will never return to it's old look... Have you ever seen an old body builder in their 70's? They have the same bagging/sagging issues. They stretch their skin with their muscle then when they get older and stop working out the muscle start to shrink and the skin saggs.. When I was in high school I played high level Football and worked out feircely 5 days a week! My biceps were 20" around and I could bench press over 400lbs for 5 reps and a set of 3.... I squated over 500lbs and my thighs were 28" around and I only weighed 200lbs... I had stretch marks on my biceps and my thighs from the muscle streching the skin. I still have the strech marks today and much worse from all the fat.... I went from 200 lbs of pure muscle with 5% body fat to 470lbs and 70-80% body fat in 25 years.....
