I was sleeved 20 December 2010. I went from 263 pounds to 123 pounds in about 12 months. I maintained 123 for about 8 months and then met a man and started a serious relationship. Over the course of 4 years, my weight crept up to 219 pounds. In August, I got engaged and refocused. I went on the Ideal Protein diet, which is very compatible with my sleeve. I am back down to 156 pounds since Labor Day. It is a ketogenic diet that discourages exercise. I'm back on track and happy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved in 2010 and had my first soda in August 2016. It was hard to drink at first, but it tasted so good. I now drink one small can a day of Coke Zero. It goes down well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I teach, as well. My surgery was 20 December 2016 and I was back in school the Tuesday after the new year. Granted, I do not teach demanding students, but I was back to a full time schedule in 3 weeks with no problem. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had mine on 20 December 2010. I don't regret a single second of my long, strange journey. I started at 265 pounds, lost to 126 pounds in a year's time. Gained to 219 over the course of 3 years. I am back down to 158. The surgery is a tool. You have to watch your food habits for the rest of your life. But, every step of the way has made me a better, stronger and healthier me. Best of luck.
