Sleeved on March 26, 2013. I have been looking at the possibility of this procedure for almost 5 years. I truly believed I could do it on my own. In September I attended a conference for work at an out door park. The program included zip lines through the forest and I realized that I weighed to much to attempt any of the events. That was the point where I found I needed to make a change. I had to go through the 6 months of PCP visits then 3 weeks later, I am now 9 days post op and feeling well. This site is so helpful with ideas for food choices as well as how to handle the changes. 27 lbs down... and motivated for the future.
