Hello all

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!! I sent it to my hubby and friends that are interested in getting the sleeve!

Thanks I enjoyed reading this article very honest and fresh.

He told me about the gastric sleeve, where they cut off two-thirds of your stomach and remove it… they cut off the part of the stomach that produces hormones and makes you hungry. Your stomach cant stretch anymore, you won’t over-eat and you’re really full, but it’s slower and your skin doesn’t sag. I had it done on New Year’s Eve, and it’s been six months now. I’ve lost 100 pounds, and it’s been slow.

Good coverage, but I am confused, what is slow about losing a hundred pounds in 6 months?

:rolleyes:OMG that is pretty neat and he is so right about TX and they do say everything is bigger in TX . By speaking out he is taking the hush hush attitude away and making it seem ok .....because it is ok to be happy

No problem. I agree with everyone. I thought the same thing . . .6 months . . 100 lbs?! That's pretty quick. Guys always lose faster than women! lol

Great article! I've actually noticed that in Texas is the only place that I travel to where they actually have billboards for the sleeve and not just the lap band. Here in SoCal, all you see every few yards is lap band billboard. . .UGH!

Oh yeah, I've seen those billboards down there. I mean they seriously are EVERYWHERE.

I think that is because Texans are bigger we are raised to eat good and not to waste food. I know not finishing my food is something that will be hard to over come post surgery. Ya just can't always carry your left overs home some things are just no good reheated . It gives me stress to think about wasting food .

I live in Houston and had heard about Paul Wall. This was a great article. Thanks for sharing! There are pics of him on www.mediatakeout.com.

Great article. It makes you wonder if the surgery would help over weight alcoholics stop drinking. My husband reads media take out and told me that he read something about Paul Wall, but I just thought it was made up bc most of media take out is bs. I guess they had the facts correct this time.=)

Great article. I had to google" what is sippin syrup" because I initially thought he meant drinkin soda but something inside my head said uhhh google that for kicks. LOL glad I did. Learn something new everyday.

Thanks for that share....great interview!
