Thanks. That gives me hope!

*Ahem*
This post is so full of bullshit, I don't even know where to start.....

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I've been doing so well until I started eating them. I need to stay away from anything that serves as a "substitute for sweets".

Perfect sense!

Thanks for confirming!
Tcon... I completely agree!

I was just recently sleeved and I'm starting to research on what happens about a year later and how to maintain weight loss. I've heard that basically it's very hard to maintain weigh loss. I'm aware that weight will always be a struggle but the comments I've seen is that it's almost like our stomaches almost go back to normal. Like we have this open window of time to lose weight after that it closes completely and people are able to eat much more food. But then I read that other people can eat more than they did right after surgery but not nearly as much prior to surgery. I'm starting to think that those who really struggle with maintenance and are able to eat much more started to fall back into bad habits and instead of taking responsibility for it blame it on the sleeve. Sorry for the long post! Any thoughts?

That makes sense!

I liked the results I had from the band. Felt like a completely different person emotionally and physically. It just caused too many problems. I hope that I have the same results with the sleeve as I did with the band just without the complications!

Hi. My surgery was supposed to be today! But had to be rescheduled for July 17th. How do we make the time go by faster?!!

Almost two years ago I had my band taken out after having it for three years due to it slipping twice. I was able to get to my goal weight with it however, I've been struggling with weight gain. This morning I found out that my insurance approved my sleeve surgery. I feel so fortunate and grateful.

Hi I know everyone is different but I will be getting sleeved next month and I need to lose a total of 50 pounds. How long do you think it will take me?

I just found that my insurance paid for my nutritional consult. Is this a good sign that I have a good chance of being approved for surgery?
