Hello

I am currently thinking about having the vsg and I am about 446lbs! I want to know if there is anyone that was or know someone. who was over 400lbs and did awesome with the sleeve. My surgeon suggest bypass and that scares the crap out of me!

I was sleeved in June 2017. My husband, who has struggled with his weight for years, finally decided to have WLS to save his life! He should have surgery the week before Thanksgiving. My husband weighed 710 lbs in February of this year and has gotten down to 581 lbs. He starts his liquid diet this week, so we’re hoping he’ll lose more prior to surgery.

I’m having a hard time finding other WLS patients who started as high as my husband did.

I'm so glad I found this thread as a BIG loser, I'd love to speak to other who have lots to lose.
