Heres the backdrop. Started at my highest 550lbs start of liquid diet may 1 i was 518lbs surgery date may 21 479lbs and today After not being able to weigh myself for 3 weeks (420 at the time, 05-18 )im now at 395. Im a very pessimistic guy when it comes to positive things happening to me and evn though i lost more than 100 lbs in a short time i still thought it just wouldnt work. But im believing now and eating healthier than ever lately, i havent started excercising yet but im starting to get some enrgy and im getting an itch too to get my weight loss on a fast track to 299. I just wanted to share !!!

Thanks Kathy- this support is helpful already.

Thanks much- it's a huge decision- so I will READ!!

All surgeries unfortunately have their rotten apples - the sleeve is not immune
there are bad outcomes for some people in the hospital, at home - post surgical reactions - this can happen in any surgery
most everybody loves there sleeve, very happy with it, and would do it again
i love my sleeve, it has given me a heathier, happier life
best thing i ever did
have even read from some who had problems, with the sleeve,and said they would still do the WLS again
talking to other people in support groups for example will give you some valuable info with questions/answers and their experiences
nobody can guarentee you that you won't have any problems
there are only two guarentees in life - death and taxes
good luck to you
