Hi my name is Marsha Duka and I am 48 year old and stand 5 11. I have three grown children and two grand kids. I have decided to have a super sleeve done. I have been in health care over 25 years and I feel this is the best surgury for me. I was in the navy for 22 years and never had a weight problem. Once I retired and hurt my back I gained over 100 lbs. The supper sleeve is a new procedure they basicly fold the stomach and suture it. The part I like no cutting. I live in san diego so am have Dr Joel Rodriguz in Tijiuna Mexico. I have done my research all the doctors in mexico. I will have it done in July or Aug 2010. Will keep you all posted.:lol0:

I had the sleeve, but would be interested in hearing your success with the "super sleeve".

A few quesitons I have ... Have you discussed grehlin with your surgeon. The absence (or lowered amount) has been truly wonderful with my sleeve. Since your entire stomach is still there, will you still produce it? Can food get trapped in the folds and cause infection?

Best of luck with your surgery. Keep us posted on your journey.

Welcome Marsha. Gratz on starting your journey. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted.

What is a super sleeve? Hi Kathy!!! Are you still 'loving' your sleeve as much as I am? No hunger, what-so-ever! It is truly amazing! I am eating only about an eighth of a cup of soup twice a day, if I eat more, I feel uncomfortable. I concoctocted (sp?) a baked potato, brocclli, cheese soup that is wonderful. I thin it with skim milk and add a little Greek yogurt. I put the brocclli in the blender with some skim milk and a little Cambells cream of potato soup and blend. Then add it to a smashed baked potato and thin it all with more skim milk, heat it up and add cheese and a little yogurt. It's devine! I hope you are doing well. My two week appointment is Monday.
