When I started my process I originally was going to do Lap Band. I want as minimum done to my body as possible as far as surgery goes. After my consultation with the surgeon, he said he basically stopped doing the band and recommended the sleeve or bypass. I ultimately decided sleeve because I figured I would rather lose part of my stomach than rearrange everything. It has been good to me. It will be a year on January 31st. I have lost about 150lbs and started out at 323lbs. It all really depends on what you end up preferring. I haven't had any issues so far since the surgery.

Hello Gentlemen,
​I'm about 18 months out from VSG and am down 92lbs. I haven't lost any weight in probably 12 months. I also haven't gained any so I'm not complaining. I am very happy with my results.
​
​​I would love to lose the last 25lb spare tire. It seems like I've tried everything. I eat CLEAN and meticulously measure and log food portions into MyFitnessPal. I'm getting 1,600 calories per day, aiming mostly for 50% Protein / 30% carbs / 20% fat. I usually exercise 30min cardio per week but recently upped this to 60 min/day 6 days/wk, alternating between weights & cardio.
​
​I go to these fitness sites and their calculators put me at needing anywhere from 2000-2500 calories/day for weight loss. But I'm at 1,600 and not losing anything - what gives? I've tried eating 2000 calories for a few days and I gained weight. Anyone else run into this? Is 1,600 my sweet spot for the rest of my life?
​
​Thanks

I am having my second and last WLS.....bypass this time.No more messing around.Most research and data.Proven and by the way....The Gold Standard ".

Hey guys looking for some insight and experience for some fellow guys. I keep going back and forth between which surgery to get. I was wondering if I could ask you all few questions about your experience. I have a surgery date of February 8 and I keep going back and forth between the sleeve and the bypass. I'm 27 years old 290lbs 5' 10 BMI of 41. I have no health problems which require one surgery or the other. I'm currently leaning towards the bypass because I believe the best weight loss will result from the bypass and I am an over-eater and have sweet tooth, which I have heard the bypass can help with However, I look at a lot of male before And after pictures on here and most seem to be sleeve surgery patients. I guess I'm looking for any experience anyone wants to offer forward.
Thanks so much,
Matt
