Wow what an amazing loss - looking great! Keep up the fantastic work, you are nearly there. I hope I can do as well as you.

Okay so my surgeon responded to my email with a brief "I'd move forward with the sleeve and not pursue cpap." THANK GOD! I'm still going to try but it is a huge relief to know its not a make it or break it deal for my surgery which will probably greatly improve the apnea. I'm truly not having troubling symptoms that led me to the sleep study so I'm not highly motivated to push through. I don't have headaches and feel tired during the day or trouble concentrating, none of that. Again, I will try because I am curious to know if I will feel more refreshed. Thank you all for the support and I'll keep you posted on my progress.

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 at 410. I was sleeved 09.27.2013. I'm down 110 pounds. Current weight 300. I still have aways to go. But hey it's working and I'm not even a full 6 months out yet.
