  4. If I stay under 240, I'm happy
  5. Sleeved 12/17/2017. Pre op liquid diet was terrible and I was miserable for a Month post op but I am very happy I had the surgery. I can't handle booze any more which is quite an adjustment but it's worth it. Good luck!

  12. What a wild ride. Hit my goal 10 Months post op. Hands down the best decision I have ever made for my health. I feel 20 years younger! I hope everyone is doing well
  13. I was 45. Very happy with my decision to go through with it. Best of luck to you!

  15. Dr.Currg is awesome! He did my sleeve last December. Best of luck!
  16. Don’t worry. You will be fine. I drink 5 nights a week on average (starting 3 Months post op) and never stopped losing weight. I eat a bit more than I used to but not much
  17. Stay strong. It sucks early on but I promise you that I will be worth it
  18. My Insurance didn’t cover it and I paid $14,000

  20. I understand what you are going through and everyone has a different experience but for me, my only regret is that I waited until I was 44 to do it. Yes, there is a lifestyle change but it may not have to be as drastic as you think. About 6 Month post op, I started drinking alcohol again, carrfeine, carbonated beverages. The biggest challenge is just learning to adapt to the new way your body tolerates your intake. Best of luck to you!
  21. Definitely will be able to. The Sausage King of Chicago is right.....it’s all about portion control. Best of luck!

  23. Trust me when I tell you the initial discomfort will pass. The first Month Post op, I was beyond miserable but now I have more energy than I did when I was 18 Years old.
  24. Best decision ever. I wish I would have done it 10 years ago!
  25. Great point! I have been saying that I should have done this 10 Years ago but at 34, I don't think I would have had the maturity or dedication to truly change my lifestyle. Best of luck to you!
  26. Sleeved at 44 last December. Feeling fantastic
