I am going to be sleeved on 9/17. I weigh 240 because I regulary overeat to a point of discomfort, make poor food choices and do not exersize enough. I have been on the diet yo-yo with all of you and have lost and gained.

During a "diet" a would make better choices, eat smaller portions and move more, after a couple hours, weeks or months of the "diet" I would cave in and quit, to regain anything I had lost. Here is my question.... How is the sleeve going to stop this behavior? I want and need this surgery and I am commited to do what I need to do to be sucessful, but I have been committed on lots of diets to only end up frustrated and end up quiting soon after. I can't have major surgery and fail, seeing everyone do so well is encouranging. Can you tell me what the difference is now post-sleeve?

Thank you!

I don't see how people can over eat with the sleeve. It does happen. I can only eat 4 bits, I am full. My body also tells me, not to try that food anymore. I love salad. I can't eat it anymore with a little dressing. I dump. The dumping is so bad, I will not try salad again. It felt like something was attacking my body. I know a lady who had bypass surgery. She almost died. She started over eating. She gained all her weight back. She has serious medical issues now.

Please don't over eat.
