Was sleeved on the 5th May at St. Anthony's hospital in Cheam in London. I was originally to have a bypass but given my history of a stroke in the last year and coming off the blood thinners they decided to do the less risky option. I have no complaints. My starting weight was 147 kg and is now 123.8 kg. I need to exercise more and am still on soft foods but I feel great, the pain in my knees and back is almost gone and I haven't had to go back on insulin or meteor in.
