This is the absolute best thing I have ever done for my health . I had surgery June 23rd at 264 pounds and I now weigh 196 pounds. I have went from 2x shirts to Large , from 40-42 pants to 34's . Surgery went easy - only complication I had was I developed an incisional hernia and had it fixed January 7th. I feel normal I just cannot eat very much . I had failed with my lap band no way I will ever weigh that again.

I had the sleeve after a lap band and I can tell you I have went from 264 to 197 in a little over 6 months . Surgery pain was easy compared to my lap band. I walked 2 miles the day after surgery. No way I will ever be able to put the weight back on that I had. Appetite and cravings are under control. My brother in law had bypass and has put all his weight back on - you are doing the right thing do your own research. If I can help contact me because I am a huge advocate for the sleeve. Here are my changes

I still eat popcorn and drink a little Coke. But I can't and don't want to consume much of either. Satiety is there quick and the dependence on that crap is not there anymore.

**Milestone** I can finally cross my legs!
titan05 replied to cal2okl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Ha ha that's a big joke between me and my wife because I cross my legs all the time now. At times it doesn't look very masculine. We joke about it a lot . -
Thanks everyone it was a hernia. I had a repair done a week from last Friday. It was a short procedure, but after 10 days I am still pretty sore. Doc said hernia was significant, and it has been way worse than my sleeve surgery. Ready to start lifting again so I can get down to about 180. I am at about 200 after starting at 264 in June.

Anyone with successful weight loss with the gastric sleeve that had NO success with the lap band?
titan05 replied to DGM's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had initial success with band lost about 30-35 pounds and gained it all back. Over 6 months out and have lost 65 pounds with sleeve. Very happy about my choice! -
I had no idea when it happened- I had a lump early and just thought it was going to go away. It doesn't hurt but if I didn't have it I would be well on my way to a pretty good 6 pack.

Went in for 6 month check up and I have went from 264 to 198 since June 23rd- bad news is that I have an incisional hernia and will have to have it repaired eventually
-
Catlynk- I have lost 66 pounds in under 6 months. December 23 would technically be 6 mos.
