Dave from Louisville,KY here. I was sleeved last Monday (9/19). Top weight 2 years ago was 400lbs. Sleeve weight was 323. I look forward to getting to know my fellow losers in the mens area! I plan on getting back to the gym after the 6 week no lift and getting rolling with my new life. I'm 42 and don't know why I waited so long to pull the trigger on this.

Hi, my name is Wes and I was sleeved on August 25th 2011 in Tijuana. I was 388 pounds at the end of July and 354 on the day of my surgery and today I am at 317. Good luck on the journey. I just started the gym, mostly cardio last week.

I was also sleeved on 9/19. Weight @ surgery was 330 and I'm now @ 303 this morning. Resumed workout at gym on Wed. Feel great and looking forward to the future.

Hey guys! Its nice to see more men posting. I am a 24 year old guy that has my VSG approval for 11/3/11. Can anyone help me out with life post op? I am nervous about social settings, going out to dinner, going on dates? How does the sleeve's restriction affect any of these?

2 weeks pre-op. The countdown continues. Sleeve on Halloween!

I'm a 23 year old guy who's one month into pre-op weight management. Hope to be sleeved sometime next February. I'm glad there's a mens section here because it's hard to relate to so many posts about "finally looking sexy in my little black dress". Hope to stay active on the forum while I go through this process.

Your getting a great jump on this journey, I wish i would have had this surgery about 15 years ago when i was 30... I would have never reached 485lbs and ruined my knees, back, hips and general health.. good luck to you...

Thanks for the good tidings. My heaviest was last year at 389 pounds. I'm currently at 374 and my surgery weight has to be 358 or less. It's a log ways away but I hope to weigh under 200 pounds. My best friend just has the sleeve in July and has already lost 80 pounds. (300 to 220). I'm really looking forward to my post-op life.

Hey - I was sleeved on 9/20/2011, and I am shocked and amazed how easy the whole thing has been. My only regret is not doing it years ago. I'm down over 80 lbs from high, and I'm still losing 8-10 lbs per week. I know it will slow down, but I sure am enjoying the tumble.

drReynolds, you'll be pleased with how little it affects you wit the social aspect. I've just gotten on regular solid foods today, but I've had no issues with eating out or anything like that. I eat Soup, and when I feel restriction I stop and ask for a to go cup. Rarely does anyone notice or ask about it, but when they do, I just say I just don't want to eat anymore. Settles the issue every time. I've not had an adult beverage, and I won't for a while.

Anyway, proud to be one of you... a loser
