Hello! I am rapidly approaching the date of surgery. I do not have an official date but have 2 more things left to do before it is set. I was just wanting to hear some opinoins on the sleeve and see if there were some good success stories. The doctor offered me a bypass or a sleeve and I went with the sleeve for several reasons. Several of my family and friends are iffy about the situation and I would like to hear some good things!! Thanks!

Look at my ticker! I am 56, post-menopausal, and have hypothyroidism. If the sleeve works for me it can work for anyone and really, it was easier to follow my surgeon's guidelines than any diet I've ever been on because I am one of the lucky ones who lost my hunger. Read LilMissDiva's posts, and Oregondaisy, and Tiffykins. All have lost huge amounts of weight and are active here in the forums. There are lots of success stories.

I agree, there are a lot of success stories on these forums. Just look around at the different posts. In the 2 weeks that I have been sleeved, I have lost 16 pounds. I'm thrilled with my progress so far.

There is a Success Stories section and it is below the Post op section.
