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.

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 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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
