I am also a "gastric sleeve stalker" trying to figure out if it's right for me. I am 5'4" and weigh 244 right now. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and I've lost a million pounds and tried about every diet. I talked to my primary physician about it last week and he said he would be supportive but he wanted me to know that only about 2/3 are successful with keeping it off. Does anyone have any information about the success rate?
