<p>Hi,</p> <p> </p> <p>Congrats on your success!!! My surgery is in 30 days. May I ask how did you decide which sleeve procedure to go with vertical sleeve vs Plication sleeve. do you have any advice on pre & post surgery tips. Thanks.</p>

Hey! Thank u! To be honest with you I didn't know about the plication sleeve until u just mentioned it. I wasn't given an option, it must be new? I'm not sure myself. But I got done the vertical sleeve and it's worked perfect for me! No complications and I didn't even need pain meds. Ofcourse everyone is different but keep optimistic and everything will be ok, follow instructions as your doc tells u to the T it's key point in this surgery. One thing enjoy very step of the way and don't get discouraged with the stalls everyone has them I've had two long ones but I think it's part of the process while your body readjusts to the new weight loss. Pre-op the first days will be challenging than u get used to it. My doc gave me the option to eat one salad a day the rest I had to have shakes. So I chose to have the salad with grilled chicken at night before 7 and go to sleep early since I was a night eater. Post-op the only advise is stay away from carbs, rice, bread, Pasta and all that junk food as much as u can. I haven't had any since my pre-op diet I think that's like 5 months now. I wish u all the best if u have any questions u could always message me. Don't doubt yourself or your sleeve it does work!! It's not another diet it's a lifestyle and I love it!!

Hi guys thank u so much!! I couldn't believe it myself yesterday when I saw the scale. I try not to weight myself as much so I hadn't went to the scale in weeks and I thought I was still in a stall but to my surprise boom I'm 160. My goal weight is 145 but my surgeon will like for me to go down to 125-130.. I don't think I want to be that skinny, I want to be healthy.

Very thankful to all you guys because this website was a very big part of my source and I would always come here and look at pics to encourage me to finish the process.. Hope I inspire someone like all u guys did with me!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
