Sorry to "tack on" to your post but I don't know how to start a post from my iPhone. I put this in the 60s category since I'll be 60 next year & worry about future memory loss. Have any of you received warnings from your surgeons about memory retention being linked to the Gherlin hormone? Since most of the stomach and this hormone are removed---could there be any potential problems in the future? Anyone research this as it relates to gastric sleeve surgery? I was 100% excited for this surgery until I saw something on this site about some type of Gherlin memory retention controversy. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Me too Kendra! I'm I'm the beginning stages. Have completed all but one test, then on to the insurance stage--I hope that goes smoothly. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Will be sleeved by Dr, Marvin in Houston --hopefully this month my daughter is having baby first of June. Hoped to be healed by then so I can help out. Sent from my iPhone using VST
