Support

I'm 22 years old going to be going under the knife on April 2nd and was wondering if anyone want to be each other's support system. A little bit about me I'm a pilot by trade during the summer and I drive trucks during the winter. I'm getting the gastric sleave surgery.

Bro, I got you. I had my surgery Dec 23rd 2014. I'm an engineer for the Army (contractor) and have plenty of time to answer questions or talk. I'm 27 in Texas so feel free to contact me whenever with questions and ill answer usually asap.

I'm 25 I'm a female I live in NY and I'm still in the pre op phase but hoping to be sleeved sometime in April or early May. My brothers are all part of the military.

Hi Harley good to me you.

I do have a question for you guys. Why did you pick getting the sleave over v the bypass

Cpt.Brady, I'm 24 also interested in the sleeve. Definitely looking for support during this time of planning and pre and post op. I'm planning on mid April to get the sleeve if it's available. Otherwise the beginning of may.

Hi Harley good to me you.

I do have a question for you guys. Why did you pick getting the sleave over v the bypass

I chose the sleeve because it's less invasive. Also, down the road if something happens to me and I need to take certain medications, my doctor said you have more option with taking pills with the sleeve over the bypass. Just a few reasons why I chose the sleeve.

Hi all I am 25 from the UK and was sleeved on 17th March and I can honestly say it was the best thing I have ever done. . It is difficult as the cravings that are in your head are still there but if you are strong you can do well. So far I have lost 3 stone which is more then I expected. Good luck to all those going for the surgery and if anyone wants to ask any questions or needs any support contact me

I chose the sleeve because I did not want my gut rerouted with a bypass, and did not want a port in my belly with a band.

That's the same reason I chose the sleeve... less complications and similar results

I have chosen the sleeve because, though less is known in long term. there have been fewer cases of having as many deficiencies, many case having none at all!
