Unaware of this thread, I had also started a thread titled same. I am from Nagpur, 5 months out. Doing fantastic without any problems. I am now 79 Kgs, goal is just 5 Kgs away. Not in any hurry. BP and Diabetes under control and within normal range without insulin. I have already posted all requisite details on thread I had started. Nice to meet you all on this forum.

I elected for sleeve coz in addition to reasons stated by others above, sleeve has an advantage of not feeling hungry every 2-3 hrs since secretion of hormone GREHLIN is produced in less quantity. Results after both procedures are almost identical. After sleeve you would find easy to reach your goal by just taking an extra step by exercises and diet rules.

3 months 10 days post op. lost 55 lbs. 22 lbs more to lose. In no hurry. No problems/ complications any time except mild dehydration once. Daily about 400-500 ml Fresh coconut juice helped immensely to remain hydrated.

Great and truly inspirational. I was operated on 2nd Nov. 2012, 3 months before. Lost about 25Kgs (55 lbs). Shall be driving tomorrow about 450 kms (300 miles) first time after surgery. Happy and excited.

Very interesting and useful article. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, my post op. weight was 106 Kgs (234 lbs.), Morbidities: DM Type 2, Hypertension. Blood glucose: not less than 350 any time, even after Insulin dosages. Weight on date of surgery: 101 Kgs., Date of Surgery: Nov. 02, 2012. Weight after one month of surgery: 85 Kgs. (187 lbs.), down by 16kgs ( 35 lbs) in 30 days. Stall for about 4 weeks and now it is 81 Kgs, about 25 Kgs/55lbs less. No more insulin required since about last 2 weeks, blood sugar under control (between 90 -100 anytime) with antidiabetic tablets. Hypertension under control (120/80) with reduced doses of anti hypertensive medications. Did not experience any problem any time except in 4 th week. Had very mild dehydration. I.V. DNS 1 unit on two consecutive days resolved the issue. Returned to work in 4 weeks. Take adequate proteins and nutrients. Losing weight slowly but steadily. Target: 72 Kgs, (158 lbs), I am in no hurry. Shall be happy to reach in six months from now. Main object is to be off anti diabetic tablets too and glucometer should always and at any point of time show reading below 120....!!! :-)) Having dream run, life is like never before. :-)
