The journey has begun!

Hey everyone! My name is Tim, I'm 31 years old. I am 1 week post op from my sleeve, and I had it done in Mexico. A scary proposition, but there were 3 other guys from my work who had used the same doctor successfully.

I weighed in at 265 pounds, which I know feels like the smaller side for a sleeve, but with a previous back surgery and very bad genetics, I was already noticing serious problems.

I have lost 12 pounds, but have been pretty stressed out with the abdominal gas and still feeing the addiction to pizza and fast food. But I am pushing forward. My biggest issue right now is the fatigue and muscle aches I get when I wake up and before bed. I hope this is normal. Anyways, thanks for listening.

Hi Tim,

My surgery is in two days and my weight is similar to yours. I started out at 268 and lost 18 thus going into surgery at 250. I am twice your age (72) and I had to do some convincing for the surgeon to do the sleeve on me. I will be interested in your progress.
