Hi what's up I can help with a lot of sleeve Q&A

Any men on here. I'm considering surgery and would like hear from the men.

I agree; it does seem like there's a disproportionate amount of women. Not sure why that is (maybe they carry their weight differently or place more value on their looks?) I was trying to talk my obese husband into considering these surgical options, but in spite of being miserable because of his weight, he won't bite. Oh well.

Best of luck to you getting a male cohort; perhaps one of the search filters or the mods could steer you in the direction of a male sleever?

Wassup. Sleeved June 30.

Hey Bruce, that's O K, we'll talk to you. I also recommend the guys' forum.

Plenty of guys on here...the ladies just talk more!

Guys' forum is probably the place to go if you have gender specific questions. However, if you're just curious about WLS in general, fire away!

Just looking for the male perspective. Thanks everyone,

I'm a guy so go ahead what's up?? What can I help you with

I'd be glad to help as well. My surgery is July 31. Finished the liquid diet and just waiting for the end of the month to come.

4 weeks post op here, have zero regrets so far.

I'm a guy. Right at 4 weeks post-op. My only regret is that I didn't do this fifteen years ago. What kind of questions do you have?

Yup lots of guys here. 7 months post op.

How do you guys cope with the loss of food as a "medication"? Do you find the restriction reduces that desire to cope by eating?

going on 4 weeks also so far so good

I am two weeks post op and i have not found that the surgery has reduced my desire to eat emotionally...yet. But, I can see that because of the restriction I just won't be physically able to eat like I used to...so my brain has to move on, and that will take some time. Everyday it seems to get a little easier.
