Hello Guys, I was sleeved on 20 Feb 2014 and I am currently 57 pounds down post surgery. I have been on regular/normal food now for 2 weeks and with the exception of one short spell of vomiting, caused by over eating, I have had no issues to complain about at all (fingers crossed). My Stamina is much improved My mobility is much improved My labido is back...thank you Lord!!! My clothes don't fit My car seat belt is comfortable I no longer need to ask for a seat belt extension on flights I can see my feet...I have two! I can see other bits too...and the quantity is fine! I can sit in those silly fixed booths in TFI My border line diabetes has resolved My sleep Apnea and snoring is much improved I can now play and interact with my children...this gets better each day! Good luck guys, Enjoy! Nobby

Thank you so much for your kind, supportive words. We are ALL doing tremendously well!! A little update; My weight loss has stalled a little, but I am not overly concerned. I feel great and my mobility, stamina and general labido are hugely improved. I like the new me...although the new me does not have too many clothes that fit correctly...but that's a nice problem, right? I am flying back to the UK in early June, to attend a family wedding. My goal is to wear a suit that I have had hanging in the wardrobe fo the last 6 or 7 years, a suit I thought I would never wear again. There you go, that's my new target; I'll post a picture of my wearing my target Suit before I leave fo the UK. Watch this space. Good luck and God bless Nobby

Hello All To cut a very long story short; My surgery was performed on the 20th Feb 2014 and I was to have a Gastric Bypass. My surgeon found issues which would prevent the Bypass, therefore he chose to perform a Sleeve instead...I was devastated when I found out, so disappointed! Now, I am over the moon, i love my sleeve! I am 47 lbs down - long way to go, but bring it on. Good luck to you all. Nobby

I due to have my bypass this coming Thursday 20th February.... I am a 48 years old, 360+lb, Englishman, working and living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia....and I am extremely excited with the prospect of (hopefully) getting my "active" life back again. My Best wishes to you all Nobby

Hi Cupcake - Thank you for your kind sentiments. I am now 99% recovered and totally excited by my new life. The scales this morning confirm that I am now 47lbs down and my smile confirms that I am over the moon. I will keep posting my progress, but I guess I should hop across to the Post-Sleeve board. I will of course be keeping a very close eye on your progress too! Hi THolland - Your words lifted me, when I was feeling sorry for myself, so thank you so much. I am much better thank you and my children can no longer "escape" Daddy. I am so lucky that I have already lost the weight of my 4 year old Son. Your surgery date is approaching, I'll keep a very close eye on your progress. Good luck and Blessings to you too. Nobby

Hi All, I have been deliberating writing this mail for some time now. My situation is this; Pre-op all was good and my bypass surgery proceeded as planned on 20th Feb. The surgeon encountered significant issues which prevented him completing a bypass procedure and he decided, at the spur of the moment, to continue with a sleeve procedure instead. What followed was an extremely nasty infection, giving me a high fever for the best part of a week or more. I am now finally out of Hospital, but still need to re-attend each day to allow them to change dressings in an open infection "drain " point in my stomach. Do I blame the Surgeon, certainly not. He knew my desire was such, that he had confidence that I would want to continue with the Plan B Sleeve option. The infection.....well who knows....one of those things I guess. I have a SLEEVE....sorry to miss-lead in any way. I was has shocked too. Upside is, I have lost over 30lbs in less than 2 weeks....every cloud I guess. Best of luck and stay healthy my friends Nobby

Yes indeed, Cupcake. My wife and I decided that tomorrow night will be portfolio time...watch this space. How about you?

Cupcake...what a great name...Thank you very much, I will also be watching your progress during the coming months. I wish you the very best of luck! Nobby

Many Thanks Dee, enjoy your exploring, rock jumping and hiking, it sounds wonderful! I don't have an RV, but I do have 2 wonderful children under the age of 5 to keep me totally occupied and blissfully happy They are my drive and inspiration. Although an RV does sound like a great idea... Drive safely, Nobby
