Not a Sleeve guy, but the one thing that I would say is that the Sleeve is the new kid on the block, in that it has only been in the last 13-14 years as a stand alone proceedure. The jury is still out as to long term results. With any of these proceedures you can still gain weight if you get away from eating right. I can tell you that after I did all of my research I did go with the RNY, and here are some of the reasons why I did. 1. It has been the Gold Standard for years 2. There is more long term studies / research 3. No cheating, persay but it will let me know that I shouldn't have ate something after the fact (I won't try it again anytime soon........lol ) 4. I was able to keep all parts 5. My Doctor told me that in the event there were major problems it could be reversed (some will argue no but that's what mine told me) Those were just a few of the reasons I went with the RNY.

I am a 59yr Old Salty Submarine Sailor who thought he had the world by the tail, until one day I woke up and realized I was 308# (5'6") and that I may not be around to see my kids get married and have grand children. I had the surgery April 21, 2014. (No a Sleever - RNY) I weighed 256 on that day. I'd lost 52 prior to the surgery once I started in the program. This morning I weighed 160 Things I wished I known: *how straightforward of a process would really be. All you have to really know is to adhered to the surgeon's instructions....eat the foods and amounts that he said to and the fat will come off quickly and I thought I would be so much more..... It is really that easy. *how my only regret would be not having my WLS much sooner. It is truly my only regret. *how much my family and friends would support me.....AFTER......the initial results started becoming visible. I was apprehensive at first. People will try to talk you out of it....or share some wls horror story of a friend of a friend's neighbor's uncle's friend......... Truly, once you being losing fast....supporters jump on board fast. Don't sweat the initial naysayers. You just have to surround yourself with the right people!! We are all here for you and willing to answer any question.

Looking to see if there is any interest in a Support Group in the middle of the Central Valley California. We have a small group that meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month a Mercy Hospital in Merced. (Are you looking for that support group so you don't have to drive to Fresno or up North..... we are a small group that is growing) Send me an email and I will get you directions.
