Recommended Posts

I am a 30 year old female. I have suffer with been over weight all my life.I have tried all different kinds of diets such as counting calories, mayo, and weight watcher's. I tend to loose the weight, but always gain what I lost and plus back.I don't have any health problems as of now, but eventually they will come if I don't loose this weight. I have two kids who always asking to go to different amusement parksand do different activities with me, but my weight is keeping me from doing it with them. I really just want some feedback about the sleeve.

The sleeve has been one of the best decisions of my life! The sleeve will help you get control over your food issues so that you can lose the weight and keep it off. I know it is a big decision to have the surgery, but it is so worth it. I never felt full until I had the sleeve. It is so nice to know that I have this tool to help me for the rest of my life. I completely recommed the sleeve!!! Good luck on your journey.

I'm 29 with no serious health problems either but I choose the sleeve because it seemed "just right" compared to the bypass (too much) and band (too little).

I'd tried everything from the time I started gaining weight in my late teens, with diets ranging from vegetarian to macrobiotic to Atkins to Dukan, counting calories and obsessing over every nutrient I consumed. I also ran, lifted weights, worked with personal trainers, shifted to working with medically-supervised weight loss, tried Weight Watchers, you name it. I had no serious health issues, but nothing would shift more than about 10-15 pounds no matter how long I stayed on it or how hard I tried.

I'm two weeks post-op now and have already lost 23 pounds. It's been a bit painful, and it's hard to get down enough fluids and Protein, but each day gets easier. I did this for my health so that I'll live long enough to see my grandchildren grow up when I have them someday, and I'll also have the energy to have fun with them. Being thinner and better-looking will just be a bonus. Short-term inconvenience for long-term gain is well-worth it in my opinion!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
