How old are you? If you don't mind me asking, what was your initial weight? I think the breast augmentation is understandable, I don't have much and I know once I have the surgery it might be something to consider. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Congratulations on your success

Do you have any before and after pictures

Hi everyone I been speaking and researching alot and came across alot of people who after having the sleeve gastrectomy having to go back for tummy tucks lipo on arms, thighs and stomach. So my question is that going to have to consider or not everyone need reconstruction surgery afterwards. Thanks for everyone who participates.

Hi Dania, Congratulations on your success, I'm so happy to hear that you have had a smooth transition. Was curious to know what were your stats before surgery? What have been the most difficult part throughout the surgery. Where are you from and what recommendations to prepare for the day

I don't have a date yet but I will definitely keep you posted

I myself am new to this Site started using it yesterday and have been hooked ever since. I even download the app for my phone. I myself am waiting for them to schedule a date for surgery and hopefully it's fast... Looking forward to hear more about your journey

Thanks for answering my question

Can someone explain what's the point of the liquid diet 2 WEEKS prior to the surgery

If you don't mind me asking what is your weight and age? I agree with everyone who commented the goal is keeping the weight off

How many days did you take of from work so I know aswell

You are a true inspiration to me I'm 24 and waiting for a date to get my surgery. I am glad to know that I will be energized to work out.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions this is extremely helpful

Hello everyone I am new to this site and I have a ton of questions, Let me tell you a little about myself I am 24 years old weigh 280 lbs and thinking about getting the sleeve gastrectomy. I live in New York City and the hospital I plan on having surgery is Columbia Presbyterian. I have seen my general doctor for the required 6 months in order to be approve by insurance, I have been tested for each and every exam for clearance, and I have had my pysch eval, so here begins my questions; 1. How long after submitting all these documents those it take to be approve for surgery and get a date? 2. In this group I hear everyone talking about the vertical sleeve so now I want to know what is the difference between the vertical and the sleeve gastrectomy 3. My biggest fear is once I start losing the weight I'll have all this excess skin, so my question is, is there anyway to avoid this? How soon can I begin exercising? and What has work for people here? 4. Will you ever stop losing weight? If so how? I want to thank any and everyone who takes the time to read and answer some of these questions this group will be incredibly helpful to me and my process.
