Are there any sleevers out there that weighed over 500 lbs? Im really interested in knowing if you had to go back for the 2nd half of surgery or did you lose enough with just the sleeve? Please let me know what to expect, I have ALOT of weight to loose!

I've seen several people on this board who started with BMIs in the 70s and 80s.. You should also look in the sub forums... there is a board for people with 200+ pounds to lose and that's where a lot of us high BMI'rs like to hang.

Hi,

This would be a great question for your surgeon. I think its hard to predict whether you would need to get the second part of the procedure. Maybe you can provide more info about your eating habits and why you think you are overweight? Sometimes that helps people give more feedback about their own experiences.

I think the sleeve is great, and its an added bonus that you can have the 2nd part done if you stop losing! Can't say that about RNY.

I know of 2 sleevers that started at 600lbs+. The most memorable to me is Patrick Curl. Unfortunately they are too busy living life to keep us updated.
