big jim hope to be slimjim

3 musketeers ; first my son (b-d 1986) had the lap band over 5 years ago . Went really great with the weight loss for 2 years .he started at 440 lbs got down to 250. With that came a lot of throwing up ,almost 5 to 6 times a week . Then he mastered how to eat different types of food that would satisfy him and he can hold down slowly he started gaining weight again April of this year he was 420 lbs .the rate of success is very low with the lap band .a lot of doctors stopped doing them and only do sleeve and bi- pass.He had the sleeve in Aug. At 420 now he is at 320 .hope the second time is the charm ! Number #2 my daughter (b-d 1989) in May of 2013 was 275lbs , was getting married nov 1st 2014 . So she really didn't want to be a fat bride. She had the sleeve in August of 2013 . Got married at 170 lbs she was a very happy bride the best choice she said she every made . Number#3 me I'm 55 years old weight problems after high school lost and gained over 400 lbs through my life . I knew I would not make 65 the way I was going elected to have the sleeve . Started my journey at 390lbs in August with the pre-op diet . Had the sleeve on nov. 19 th at 345lbs ( you will gain weight after surgery for a week or so all the fluids and IV your on ) I'm at 317 today 1/20. The best choice I made also . Every body is different . Hope this helps you a little with three different looks of why we had the surgery good luck !
