    gatacous got a reaction from New1 in Long Term Weightloss For The Sleeve Vs Bypass   
    I was sleeved 2 yrs ago and one of my best friends was bypassed 2 yrs too we have kept our weight offwe do work out 3times. A week. In my mind I have set a weight that I will nerver never go over an has worked for me I stay at 118 to 121 I haven't had any trouble she has been scoped twice. Well once I am taking her tomorrow to be be careful of junk food it goes down easier than some meats I try an stay away. I drink hot tea or coffee after meals seem to help. Hope this helps
