Hey MzLuvee.... when I went to the medical review appointment, the doctor simply asked me what I was considering but didn't suggest anything. I am only willing to do the sleeve, and not GB and I told the doctor that. My mom had GB two years ago, and although she's doing extremely well now.... she still has to take a bunch of vitamins every days due to malabsorbtion issues. I am certainly not trying to deal with that for the rest of my life. I would think that getting the sleeve, and losing the weight would help reverse the trend of being pre-diabetic. Now if you were already full blown diabetic, I can understand the doctor recommending GB. Ultimately, the choice is yours. I am so very glad that your appointment went well. Even with your husband there.....LOL... We husbands can be a pain in the butt at times.

You definitely should not feel bad about this. You've already made a decision to change your life for the better, and that's the important piece. You will have a great future ahead of you, and the CPAP machine can actually help you short term. I hope you feel better soon.

That's awesome. Congrats!

Awesome success story. You've come very far in a relatively short amount of time. Congrats to you!

You have some amazing results in such a short period of time. Congrats on the weight loss.

Very Nice NSV!!! Congrats on your sleeve and congrats on no longer being winded. LOL....

Definitely congrats Qdiesel...That's awesome.... Knock em dead out there in the Big T!!!! LOL...

Congrats on your 75 lbs weight loss. That's incredible for only 4 months!

Congrats. I hope all goes smoothly.

I agree with this MzLuvee. I was not down quite 10% when I had my medical interview appointment, but I had continued to lose weight after options class and the doctor certainly appreciated that. You'll be fine!

That's amazing! Congrats!

Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any sleeve advice for you, as I am still pre-op. However, I did want to say congratulations on your surgery and I wish for you a speedy recovery. Take Care,

Well, I definitely would have to agree with you. We all have to life our lives to the fullest and make the best of it that we can. People will talk about you when you lose weight, or if you're big. You just can't win with some people. Anyhow, congrats on your weight loss. That's awesome

That's awesome. That was pretty cool

That's awesome. And it's very cool that you're inspring others. That's a huge NSV. Congrats!

Clever Title!!!! That's an awesome accomplishment. I know that has to feel extremely good. Congrats!

I've watch those videos plenty of times. It certainly gives me a higher level of respect for the work these doctors do. The human anatomy is a beautiful thing, however when I see the blood at times... freaks me out. Glad to know I will be knocked out while it's happening. LOL.

Uh... this is hilarious!

Go girl! Get ur workout on!

That's awesome! Congrats to you!

That's awesome. Countdown!

So... being that this is The Man's Room, I figured I reach to the fellas and ask a question that I kind of already know the answer to. But for those who have had the sleeve.... Was it a noticeable difference in the attention you received from the opposite sex after you've lost the weight from the sleeve? If you have seen a difference, do you consider those folks superficial and don't give them the time of day? I mean are you not the same person on the inside? I bring this up because I recently told a female friend of mine that I was going to have the surgery, she was very supportive, but then she also made a statement like.... "You're going to have women all over you". Now....even as a big guy... I've never had a problem dating women... However I thought to myself... What would make her assume that I don't have women all over me right now? I mean... I am not the type of dude that thrives off how many women they can attract.... but the comment my friend made did get me to thinking.... Hmmm... So I thought I reach out to my experienced fellas out the in the VST world. Is there a noticable difference in attention from the opposite sex after you get sleeved and have lost weight? Fellas feel free to chime in..... Ladies... if you're peeking into the The Man's room...you might as well join the conversation....
