  2. Hii everyone! nice to see all of those stories of success with the sleeve surgery! i myself got my Sleeve done back on May 8th 2012! i was 295 surgery morning and now i am 225! I have lost quite a bit of muscle and i am slowely trying to build it back by exercising and getting plenty of protein! However i have been loosing quite a bit of hair and its going really thin! its scareing the hell out of me because i am only 19! So really i would appriciate any advice on what to do =D unfortunately i do not go to Support Groups. My family yells at me and wants me to go but ive been extremely busy!
  3. Just to help you out so somebody will answer your question, i was worried about the pain pre surgery as well and everybody kept telling me it wouldnt be so bad and not everybody experiences the pain. Well when i woke up after surgery im not gonna lie, it sucked. the pain was quite bad but after the first few days i promise you will start to feel soo much better and after the first week you will start to not feel much pain at all. im 3 weeks out now and i have already lost 35ibs and it feels amazing. Just remember that when you go through it, its going to get better and when time goes by youll forget about all of it and just be happy that your finally loosing weight and having energy.
