Hi. I had the same thoughts but decided with the sleeve on 5/29/15

My SW was 320. My DR told me I would lose 70 to 80 in a year To her surprise I was down 120 in 5 months. Im presently 200 and I'm hoping to reach 190 but those last 10 do not want to go away. I know it's mostly because I'm gaining muscle weight from the gym . But to answer your question everyone is different and you'll see that when you read all the post that are here from everyone. Some good and some bad. Make a decision that you will be happy with you.

Anything you put your all into is possible. I was sleeved at 342 lbs exactly a year and a week ago. My Dr's goal for 18-months out was 197. I'm currently 191. Getting sleeved was the best thing I ever did!!

I had gastric sleeve surgery 2 months ago. I've lost 42 lbs on my 6 month pre op diet and 35 lbs since surgery, 77 total since I started in April! I'm off of all of the meds already, I have a ton of energy and I'm sleeping like a baby!

My insurance required me to diet and exercise for 6 months. I had to see my PCP once a month and document my progress. Most people see their NUT I think.
