  1. My tummy is not that favorable especially after my son. I'm thinking more about less pain spots. However I don't know if it's safer with the regular five than with one, whichever is better for my surgeon to do, I'm all for it.
  2. Congrats on all of your losses. I'm going to google spider gastric sleeve.
  3. I only seen two people that had there's done via the navel. Who has done it that way? If not how many incisions do you have. Does the doctor in advance tell you he's going through the navel/open/laproscopically?
  4. Did anyone workout or not workout during this time?
  5. I would especially like to hear from people similar to me. I am 5'6, 287. Can you tell me how much you were from day one of surgery, 3,6,9, and 12 months later. I am interested in hearing from others that are two years or more post as well. Thank you.
  6. Hi. I have been researching WLS for some time now. I originally wanted the RNY, but have been considering the sleeve more, due to everything internally is left the same, just the removal of a LARGE part of the stomach, which is something I am still wrapping my head around. Anywho, I have been considering the band, Rny, sleeve, and recently DS, but narrowed it down mainly to the sleeve and bypass. Can anyone provide me with a link that compares the two (bypass, and sleeve) with as much information as possible. Also can someone tell me what are all the negatve side effects. I know that with the rny there is the dumping, more chance of hypoglycemia, etc. I read that dumping is possible, and heart burn is something that happens with the sleeve. I'd especially like information on the heartburn, etc. Thanks.
