I've been a size 10 until they put me on psych meds. I'm now a 2x. I found a new psychiatrist who changed my meds and have lost 20 ponds in 4 weeks. I cancelled my surgery until may to see if the weight loss continues. My question is, are there people who don't lose on the sleeve? I've heard of 2 cases but they are foodies.

In my opinion, there are those who have the operation, and then don't change their mental attitude towards food or working out, and end up right back where they started. I work with 5 people who have had the operation, and 1 who had the bypass done, and all 6 of them have had amazing success. You get back what you put in to it.

I don't have any research data or anything, but in my opinion, if you get the sleeve, work hard, change your attitude and do what you're supposed to do, and what millions of others have done, I think you'll be fine, so long as you don't have any sort of medical issues that would alter that.

I am having strong problems but still losing weight - I am a foodie/foodle and the mental battle is continual but I have to make this work. As for wondering about the sleeve compare to the band & by-pass - I have know people who have had not reach their weight loss goals. One person who had the band have only lost 20 pounds in 2 years - she has some family issues. I have meet a few people who have had problems with their "bands" and had to have repair surgery - the sleeve.It took me about 17 years to decided to have the surgery - and I am grateful because of the progress in this field of bariatric weight loss.

If you have the time to review this lifestyle and think you can do weight loss tradtionally I say your decision to cancel is right on. I miss eating foods that are on the No-No list but medically I have to readjust my life.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
