    Ah, I finally found the right forum for me. I'm 417lbs and want the sleeve but doc is recommending bypass. Doesn't sound right for me for so many reasons so I'm thrilled to see so many success stories with similar starting weights and great successes. I'm committed to the process and feel I'll have great success with the sleeve. I hear it's not really very easy to stretch like you hear people talk about because it's actually the less stretchy part and more muscular part of the stomach that the sleeve is made from. Have others heard this too? So happy to have found you all.

    I started 454 down 76 pounds 378 my surgery was dec 10 3 months out today and beat decision! I actually went in wanted the bypass an my doctor said the sleeve!! He informed me that gastric has a lot of Vitamins defects as the sleeve u still get all the nutrients!!! Best decision ever had a easy recovery and I have been kicking ass since

    Forgive me if I'm not posting in the right place... I will be 4 weeks out this Thursday and am wondering how long everyone waited to start exercising after sleeve?? I know I can walk but have some cardio dance videos I'd like to do. I have emailed surgeons office and haven't heard back. Any advice is appreciated!

    I would say don't do it until u speak to your doctor it all depends on your incisions and your food stage!!! I was told I could after 6 weeks

    Hi has anyone else had this happen post op?,the op did,nt interefere with my periods i have had a period every month since august right up until the end of december,i have never missed a period before,took 4 pregnancy tests all neg and dr has taken blood to rule out the menepause(i,m too young!!!) so i just dont know whats going on,is this normal after the sleeve? is it just my hormones playing up,i,m all over the place at the moment with my moods,crying one minute, happy the next and then hulk angry, my poor hubby lol.

    I would say go to the doc for pregnancy test!!! I was two weeks pregnant when I had my surgery and it undetected!! So at 5 6 weeks after surgery I was really sick could tolerate anything and that when I found out I was 9 weeks pregnant with a fetus that was ill and didn't make it!! Please go get checked by ur doctor to see if u r pregnant

    Wow so sorry to hear this. Have you tried to get a appointment with the doc, I would. Have you started some type of exercise? 70 lost is really good and it should be seen, somewhere

    Yes I have an appt coming up!!! It's seen! Everyone cSb tell a huge difference but I'm saying my clothes still fit I'm sure it's bc they were tight before!!! Everyone is different I'm 6 feet starting really big lol

    My surgery is scheduled for 3/24/14. U lost 70 pounds and have not gone down a size, thats weird. What has your doc said.

    Honestly I haven't spoke to my doc since surgery!!! When I go I see a PA and she tells me everyone is different!!! My clothes fit different but I can still wear them without problems!!! I'm not to happy with my doc office honestly I feel like a number not a patient they care about

    Gosh I'm getting jealous! I hope I have similar results. How long do you typically wait before going to the gym, I know it really depends on the person but an estimate would be good :-) I got sleeved on Monday so the only thing I'm ready for is a walk and then bed lol!

    Your doctor actually clears you when you are ready it depend on your incisions! How your tolerating foods etc!!!

    thats odd thatyou lost 70lbs and no clothes sizes.... chris

    I know but it true!!! What I'm thinking is my clothes were right before and now they are extra loose so maybe I was really in a larger size before but for me to loose 70 pounds and there's a huge difference physically my clothes have not changed much they are just more comfortable
