Hi! I am starting my testing on 3/18 to start the process for sleeve surgery.

Has anyone gained their weight back after sleeve surgery? Or do you know anyone who has?

What are your challenges on a daily basis after surgery?

I am doing as much research as I can. I want to make sure that after I go through this that I make it work. I don't want to

Gain weight back or fail and I am wondering what the chances are of that with the sleeve.

I am 45 I have hbp, sleep apnea and fatty liver. I'm scared for my health more so than my looks.

Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. I will be using Dr. Ahmad in Port Jefferson,️NY for my surgery.

The only people I know who have gained back their weight were not following the program. This isn't a cure all. You still have to put in the work by making good eating choices and exercising regularly.

My only challenges were finding what I could eat as a vegetarian with multiple food choices and the mental game of making good food choices on a daily basis.

Other than that I've had a relatively easy time of it. Despite having a high BMI going into this I had no co-morbs and I had been exercising regularly prior to surgery.

Thank you for sharing!

Hey I'm in Long Island as well, doing it with dr Brathwaite in patchogue, ny. I've started my testing and am halfway done, looking for a date in May/June really excited!

Hi, I have two more appointments to complete before I know when my date will be for surgery. My health is bad and i'm looking forward to get it over with. Excited also.

I have to wait until March for my first round of testing. Hoping for a date May or June. Thank you all so much for sharing. I really appreciate it. Happy Valentines Day!

The first week can suck. But I SWEAR it gets better and then great! Almost one month out and back to work and I feel like a new person who is almost twenty pounds lighter than surgery day.

Reward though for missing boobs!

In either case, my hardest thing now is the pre planning to make sure I have good food in the house and available at work. Protein first! Fluids fluids fluids!

Best of luck to you!
