Hi everyone. I've been reading these boards for the last couple of days and decided to join.

I'm getting sleeved exactly in 15 days (May 27th). I'm nervous but excited all at once!!!

I'm 6'4 and currently 360lbs. My goal is to reach 220lbs. Hope to share some experiences here. :)

Welcome!!

I'm 2.5 years post-op and my surgeon has a mentoring program. I mentored a man who was 6' and 425 to start. He got down to 280 at about 9 months post-op. He's been stuck there for a while but his ultimate goal is 250.

I think you will do just fine!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
