Yeah, no data on that, but then again I don't think there's data like that on the lap band or RNY, either, as neither has been around for the 40-50+ years that would be necessary for that kind of data.
I would imagine, since there's no malabsorption with the sleeve, that the longevity stats would be great. Certainly they would be better than the lifespan of a morbidly obese person.

Craigslist is dangerous...I won't join if it goes through there

Were you able to sign up yet? For awhile we blocked anyone from outside the US because people were signing up from overseas and spamming the forums. We've unblocked that again and I'm just having to be more diligent about deleting spam.
It's true there is not a ton of traffic on the site but we've got over 3,000 members and growing every day. It takes time to build a successful dating site. Be patient, check back often and share the link in your groups and with single friends!

What a great idea! I wish my partner had the mindset of a WLS person. It sure would be nice to be with someone whose eating and exercise habits were more in line with my own.

Interesting. Iam about 7 weeks post op and I have never vomited until yestersday. It seems like everytime I eat or drink I feel like I'm going to throw up. I been feeling off for several days. I go in for my lab work this week and see the surgeon in two weeks. I too do not smoke or drink. Maybe I can get some answers.
I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes to you !!!

Webchickadee well said. I had reflux before surgery but it went away a I lost during the pre op phase. Then it came back with a vengeance after surgery... Usually at night. Prilosec clears it right up.

Honestly I am shocked that the scrutiny does not stop even after such a dramatic procedure, let me say this to you lolli, congratz on your 22lbs that's a lot of weight and another thing lolli is that if you lose slower your skin won't be so mad at you, I am glad to hear you did not gain 22lbs then I would think something is strange. I have a friend who lost 61% of her weight in 6 months, docs say the average with the sleeve is 2yrs...she doesn't do anything different than we are doing. Keep your head up focus on your goal and the rest is history. My surgeon wants me to lose 2lbs/week and I can't blame him he is trying to avoid me looking like an empty potato sack once I hit goal.

I think we need to see pictures!

Whew....I'm gonna need a cold shower after reading this thread

I had read that for every 10 pounds lost you gain an inch in length I was looking forward to adding over 10 inches since I lost 105 pounds but you won't believe this but it did not happen. LOL

You can expect to see about 1" more penis per 35lbs of weight loss. Of course this is limited to the the amount of fat surrounding yours.
I have lost just shy of 100lbs & can say it is verry noticeable. And with less fat around it, holding it up, it does hang lower (appear even larger) flacid.

Don't underestimate the effect that just having a smaller stomach and more energy will have on sex. Even just a few weeks post-op my wife and I noticed quite a difference.

Well you don't get a fatter d**k. You just loose the fat around your stuff which makes it look normal. Lol

Creating a new thread because the other one has gotten really long.
So, here are my before and currents to keep the topic moving.
