i have been lookin into this alot i have always been heavy but i have gained alot since 2009 after i had my gallbladder taken out im not happy with myself or my weight i have tryed to loose its not easy i have 2 beautiful lil boys to live for i lost my father due to him being over 700 pounds he was 36 years old i dont want that to be me one day i refuse to go that far im 330 pounds now i wana be at least 150 is the surgery really worth doing

I've always been on the thicker side I was just recently sleeved on 4/11 and I would say so far it is definitely worth it I already feel a thousand times better :-) my main incentive was that I'm a single mother with an amazing 6 y/o little boy who for one i need to be around for him and for two I need to set a good example for him as well so that he is not overweight and unhealthy . My highest weight was 268 day if surgery I was 253 and today I'm 240 so in 5 weeks I've lost almost 30 lbs and I feel great I would definitely recommend getting the surgery if you have any other questions this is a great forum everybody is very helpful :-) good luck

Thick, my highest weight ever was 352. I was 337 day of surgery and I now weigh 259... looking at the Century Club soon. In only 8 months, I've lost nearly 100 pounds and I feel like a brand new person. Is VST worth it? HECK YEAH! I was on the verge of dying from co-morbidities and now I'm running stairs, working out every single day, and LOVING my life. Yeah, surgery is so worth it. If you click on my name, you can view my gallery with pictures of me pre-op, and at least once a month since then. I'm feeling pretty good about life and my life expectancy right now. My story is NOT unusual here. There are lots of sleevers who have had similar experiences to mine.
