You are 100% right BigFrank! People shouldn't always believe everything their doctor's tell them. My surgeon wanted to do a DS on me, which statistically was a better option. I wouldn't have it due to the increased risk and life long issues associated with a DS. You are basically trading obesity for side effects.

Before And After
JustSayMoe replied to reshapemyimage's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
213 from max. 191 from preop. In a little more than 9 months. My new cross addiction is working out -
I was that way too. I enjoy food and cooking. I'm doing my best to adapt to the new sleeve.

FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved
JustSayMoe replied to DivaNurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's been a while. I'm closing in on my goal. I was sleeved on Valentine's day this year. I'm down 213 from the heaviest and around 190 from the preop phase. -

How about these? VSG on 2/14/13, preop starting weight 400. Preop (max) 430: 1.2 pounds from goal: -
I'm not in your area, but I started right at 400. My max weight was about 430. I'm 216 now and ounces from my goal.

The Weird Noises My Stomach Makes When I Eat Or Drink
JustSayMoe replied to calicakes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Eventually things will get back to normal. It's common to have the "two cats fighting" noises coming from your gut for a while. Once you heal and your body gets used to the sleeve things will be pretty much like before. -
5 Days Out & I Can Gulp Water!
JustSayMoe replied to CrissyRing77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No big deal. It just means your sleeve isn't over swollen. I was the same way. Once you hit the solids things will change and change quickly. :-) -

Don't sweat it. I found the eval to be a very positive experience (other than the annoying paperwork). I have an established rapport with a respected professional. A shoulder to lean on if needed in the future.

I Am In A Tall For 3 Weeks !
JustSayMoe replied to Big Ocean's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there. Keep that measurement tape around. I found that I would lose inches and pounds some weeks. Other weeks I would lose one or the other but not both. The scale isn't the only way to measure success. Stalls happen all of the time. Just keep hammering away, and you will break out. -
Insulin Before And After Surgery
JustSayMoe replied to sleeversue's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
"Super" diabetic (Type 1 and Type 2 at the same time) 175-200 units of Novolog daily via pump before surgery at 400+ pounds. Now 30-35 units a day at 215 pounds. -
Your weight will move up and down all of the time. There are a number of things that cause this. It's perfectly normal. Remember you are still healing and adjusting to the new you.

Attention February 2013 Sleeve Buddies!
JustSayMoe replied to LizTex2587's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm forunate that in Texas the weight isn't printed on driver's licenses. I do get strange looks when people check my ID. I look like a completely different person. -
